```
A sea of Peace and Joy and LightBeyond my reach I know.
In me the storm-tossed weeping nightFinds room to rage and flow.
I cry aloud, but all in vain;I helpless, the earth unkind!
What soul of might can share my pain?Death-dart alone I find.
A raft am I on the sea of Time,My oars are washed away.
How can I hope to reach the climeOf God’s eternal Day?
But hark! I hear Thy golden Flute,Its notes bring the Summit down.
Now safe am I, O Absolute!Gone death, gone night’s stark frown!
