You may find this link to You tube, there is children's choir singing the song but you will have to advance to around 45 minutes into the link. Happy hunting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr0wAJHYCfU&app=desktop

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
I have been after these lyrics for years, this was
one of my favourite hymns at school, I cannot
thank you enough. Much appreciated

Just seen this post, I sing this song lots from memory so having all the words will fill a few gaps. Great hymn, one of my all time favourites.

I have sung this song to myself over the years. I remember being at primary school in the 1970's singing this in assembly. This morning my teenage daughter asked me what it was called and in searching, I found this link. Hazel Charlton, 'thank you'.

Yes I remember singing this song at primary school around 1974. I remember the tune very well, the words less so. My granny loved it. I didn't know it was a hymn!

I've been searching for that song for years. I remember singing it at an all boys Junior school in the late 70s .
I can only remember the tune to the third line though!
We used to have a large thick flip chart type hymn book tied over the roof truss in the school hall and we'd sing from that.
I used to hate 'Give me oil in my lamp'.

Come and Praise 1 - an A4 brown spiral bound book

Where can I find the music to this song?

Actually it is called
I listen and I listen
It was written by Hazel Charlton
who happens to be my mum

Sound of the Sea by Hazel Charlton

In the morning early
I go down to the sea
And I see the mist on the shore;
I listen and I listen

When I go to the rocks
I go looking for shells
And I feel the sand beneath my feet;
I listen and I listen

When the stormy day comes
Waves crash on the cliffs
And the wind whistles through my hair;
I listen and I listen

And at night when I sleep
And the sea is calm
The gentle waves lap the shore;
I listen and I listen

I sometimes think that God
Is talking to me
When I hear the sound of the sea;
I listen and I listen
