And with hearts ~o'erfull, we're singing,
Farewell, dear friends, to you.
Loving pilots long nave led us,
But the hands that ere today.
On the helm have rested Ger ours, guild
Now are gently drawn away.
When at last we come to anchor,
After all the surges, swell,
May we, each one, hear the Captain say
"Thon hast lone thy duty well"
Farewell, farewell, farewell,
Farewell, dear friends, to you:
Q, with hearts o'erfull we're singing,
Our last farewell to you.
