STRUM A CHORD (THE FIRST CHORUS IS PIANO - NO GUITAR)

Chorus

O Death, where is thy sting?

O Grief, where is thy victory?

O Life, you are a shining path.

And hope springs eternal, just over the rise,

 When I see my redeemer beckoning me.

Verse

Oh row my ship over the waves of your sea

 Let me find a safe port now and then

 Don't let the dark one in your sanctuary

 Until it's time to pack it in

O, row, row my ship

 With the fire of your breath

 And don't lay a broadside on your ship as yet

Blow ye warm winds

 When it's chilly and wet

 And don't come to soon

 For collecting my debt

Chorus

O Death, where is thy sting?

O Grief, where is thy victory?

O Life, you are a shining path.

And hope springs eternal, just over the rise,

 When I see my redeemer beckoning me.

Verse

Oh let me sail on

With my ship to the East

 And keep my eye on the North Star

 When the journey is no good for man or for beast

 I'll be safe wherever you are

 Just let me sail into your harbor of lights

 And there and forever to cast out my light

 Give me my task

 And let me do it right

 And do it with all of my might

Chorus

O Death, where is thy sting?

O Grief, where is thy victory?

O Life, you are a shining path.

And hope springs eternal, just over the rise,

 When I see my redeemer beckoning me.
