Safe within the Vail
"Land ahead!" its fruits are waving
1
"Land ahead!" its fruits are wavingO'er the hills of fadeless green,And the living waters lavingShores where heav'nly forms are seen.
2
Onward, bark! the cape I'm rounding;See the blessed wave their hands;Hear the harps of God resoundingFrom the bright immortal bands.
3
Now we're safe from all temptation,All the storms of life are past;Praise the Rock of our salvation,We are safe at home at last.
CHORUS.
Rocks and storms I'll fear no more,When on that eternal shore;Drop the anchor! furl the sail!I am safe within the vail!
