Row on Row on, row no another day May shine with brighter light Ply, ply the oars & pull away Thou must not come tonight Clouds are upon the summer sky There's thunder on the wind Pull on, pull on & homeward hie Nor give one look behind Bear where thou goest the word of love Say all that words can say Changeless affections strength to prove But speed upon the way Oh like yon river would I glide To where my heart would be My bark should soon outsail the tide That hurries to the sea But yet a star shines constant still Through yonder cloudy sky And hope as bright my bosom stills From faith that can not die Row on, row on God speed the way Thou must not linger here Storms hang about the closing day Tomorrow may be clear a lament found by Gail Huntington in an 1864 journal from the New Bedford Whaler "Three Brothers" Tune by Tim Laycock Filename[ ROWON BF apr00
