Safe To Shore

Oh, the wind and waves they bellow
Our ship is beneath its rage
The lightning strikes-- the thunders roll
Our ship, I fear, has come of age

But hark! Amidst the dark and fearsome hollow
A streak of light penetrates through
Land is near, land is close
Let me then my strength renew

Row, you oars! Blow, you winds!
Until to shore you safely get
Then the storm will be but a sight
A piece of memory we just met

But hark! The rocks are jagged and many
The trial is not over yet
Row, you oars! Blow, you winds!
Until to shore you safely get
