INTRO: C CHORUS:

C
O Death, where is thy sting?

G         G7           F  G C
O Grave, where is thy victory?

C       C7                 F
O Life, you are a shining path.

F                              C
And hope springs eternal, just over the rise,

        G               F    G   C
When I see my redeemer beckoning me.

VERSE:

C
Oh row my ship over the waves of your sea

        G                        C
Let me find a safe port now and then

       F                        C
Don't let the dark one in your sanctuary

   D                       G
Until it's time to pack it in

G
O, row, row my ship

          C
With the fire of your breath

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

F
Blow ye warm winds

           C
When it's chilly and wet

     D
And don't come to soon

        G               G7
For collecting my debt

VERSE:

C
Oh let me sail on

With my ship to the East

     G                        C
And keep my eye on the North Star

          F                      C
When the journey is no good for man or for beast

      D                    G
I'll be safe wherever you are

 G                          C
Just let me sail into your harbor of lights

     G                    C
And there and forever to cast out my light

  F
Give me my task

        C
And let me do it right

    D                     G    G7
And do it with all of my might
