Pull for the Shore

Composer: Philip Bliss, 1873

Light in the dark­ness

sailor

day is at hand!

See o’er the foam­ing bil­lows fair hav­en’s land

Drear was the voy­age

sail­or

now al­most o’er

Safe with­in the life boat

sail­or

Pull for the shore.

Pull for the shore

sail­or

pull for the shore!

Heed not the roll­ing waves

but bend to the oar;

Safe in the life boat

sail­or

cling to self no more!

Leave the poor old strand­ed wreck

And pull for the shore.

Trust in the life boat

sail­or

all else will fail

Stronger the surg­es dash and fierc­er the gale

Heed not the stor­my winds

though loud­ly they roar;

Watch the bright and morn­ing Star

And pull for the shore!

Bright gleams the morn­ing

sail­or

up­lift the eye;

Clouds and dark­ness dis­ap­pearing

glo­ry is nigh!

Safe in the life boat

sail­or

sing ev­er­more;

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

Pull for the shore.
