Light in the darkness, sailor, day is at hand ! See o'er the foaming billows fair Haven's land ; Drear was the voyage, sailor, now almost o'er ; Safe within the lifeboat, sailor, pull for the shore. Pull for the shore ? sailor, pull for the shore I Heed not the rolling waves, but bend to the oar ; Safe in the lifeboat, sailor, cling to self no more ! Leave the poor old stranded wreck, and pullfor the shore.
2. Trust in the lifeboat, sailor; all else will fail : Stronger the surges dash and fiercer the gale ; Heed not the stormy winds, though loudly they roar; Watch the " Bright and Morning Star," and pull for the shore.
3. Bright gleams the morning, sailor, uplift the eye ; Clouds and darkness disappearing, glory is nigh ! Safe in the lifeboat, sailor, sing evermore : " Glory, glory, hallelujah ! " Pull for the shore.
