SONG: 14 by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD

First Line: ACROSS THE SEA BEYOND THE SAND
Last Line: IF PEACE BE WON.
Subject(s): PEACE;
ACROSS the sea beyond the sand,
At sunrise I shall sail away,
To dwell in that enchanted land
Where Love does stay.

And up each lonely mountain peak,
Where'er the narrow path may lead,
Beneath its burning skies I'll seek
The One I need.

Across its plains by moon and star,
And darkest night my road shall be,
Until I clasp the hands which are
Held forth to me.

And if the storms be fierce and strong
To tire me ere the search be done
My peace will be more sweet and long
If peace be won.
