No more a Watch to stand. Old Sailor.
For you are drifting on an ebbing tide
Eight Bells has rung. Dog Watch is done.
A new Berth waits you on the other side.
Your Ship is anchored in God’s Harbour.
And though his sailors are of equal rank
there ‘ll be Shipmates on the deck to greet you.
And Pipe, as you ascend the Plank….
Her boilers with full head of steam
Cargo stowed and Galley stored
Just waiting to get underway.
When the last Hand comes aboard.
Look sharp! That Hand is you. Old Sailor.
And you’ll be ailing out of Heavenly Seas.
So may the wind be ever at you back.
Fair weather. And God speed!
