Last Night, My Lads, We Toiled Away,
Oh, So Drearily, Drearily;
But We Weighed Our Anchor At Break Of Day,
Oh, So Cheerily, Cheerily.

So Keep Up Heart And Courage, Friends!
For Home Is Just In Sight;
And Who Will Heed, When Safely There,
The Perils Of The Night?

Just So We Toil Through Trouble’s Night,
Oh, So Wearily, Wearily;
But We Sail With Joy At Morning Light,
Oh, So Cheerily, Cheerily.

Though Storm Clouds Come Oft Ere We Land,
Oh, So Readily, Readily;
Still We Trust As Guides The Helmsman’s Hand,
Oh, So Steadily, Steadily.

When We Reach Heaven’s Shore ‘Twill Be
Drear, No, Nevermore, Nevermore;
Not A Toil Nor Care, But Jubilee
Cheer, Yes, Evermore, Evermore.
