DEEP IN THE CAVE THE LANTERNS HANG
LIGHTING THE WAY FOR THE SMUGGLING GANG BACK IN THE TOWN THE TOWNSFOLKS SLEEP
AFTER ASKING THE LORD FOR THERE SOULS TO KEEP
DOWN ON THE BEACH THE MOON SHINES HIGH
LIKE A COVERT LIGHT IN A SUSPECT SKY
FAR IN THE DISTANCE THE WAVES BEGIN
TO SWAY TO THE SOUND OF THE WIND
AS SHE STARTS TO SING
THEN SLOWLY NOW AS IF BY GOHSTLY HAND
THE WATER RECLAIM THE GRATEFUL LAND
AND IF YOU LOOK TO THE WEST YOULL SEE
THE SAILS OF A SHIP AS SHE WONDERS FREE
THROUGH THE RAGEING TIDE AND THE SWIRLING FOAM
LOOKING FOR PASSAGE ON THE JOURNEY HOME
HIGH UP IN THE CROWS NEST ONE SOAL WILL STAND
THANKING THE GOOD LORD FOR DELIVERANCE OF LAND
SO NOW THAT THIS FAIR SHIP HAS COME INTO HARBOUR AND THROUGH STORMS IT HAS STRIVEN
WE MUST EVER GIVE THANKS TO OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
