W:The weary toils of storm and strife will soon be past and o’er, W:And the sailor sings with joyous heart to greet his native shore. W: W:ch W:“Cheerily make her go, boys, Far across the foam; W:The harbour lights are shining bright to guide us safely home! W:So, cheerily make her go boys, Far across the foam; W:The harbour lights are shining bright, W:To guide, to guide us safely home.” W: W:2 W:The harbour lights are on the lee, and gleam across the tide; W:Like guiding lights in darkness drear, They glimmer far and wide; W:For storms may lash the angry wave, And tempests rage and foam, W:But the sailor steers for yonder lights, And sings amidst the gloam: W: W:3 W:The harbour lights are nearer still, and through the twilight dim W:The sailor sees the dear ones nigh, Who wait to welcome him. W:The sails are furled, the voyage o’er Upon the stormy main, W:And blythe and gay the chorus rings From joyous hearts again. % % % % % % After The Campfire Song Book % My Own Song Book % The Song And The Story % Songs From Hazzards Huzzah % % % % %]
