THE VOYAGERS.

We are voyagers on an ocean, and our destiny we know, For our chart, it has pointed out the way. Our leader, he is cheering us as o'er the waves we go, Saying, courage sailor, soon we'll gain the day.
CHORUS. Then we'll watch and we'll pray as our vessel bears away, And we'll never be disheartened any more; For the port is getting nearer, and I hear the leader say, We soon shall reach the harbor and the shore.
Though hard the winds are blowing and high the billows roll, 'T will only make us sigh for land the more; Our rest will be the sweeter when we reach the final goal, And we'll shout our voyages over on the shore.
CHORUS.
We have passed the coast of Babylon, and Medo-Persian line, We have left the coast of Grecia far behind; We've been sailing down the Roman shore for eighteen hundred years, And our chart declares the port we soon shall find.
CHORUS.
