Speed on. o vessel, DER the wave,
No clouds TO fear. no storms TO brave
For angel eyes a watch will keep,
And guide thee safely Ger the deep
Speed on with steady course thy way
While gentle zephyrs round thee play;
Speed on. thy precious freight to bear.
And scatter sunshine everywhere.
The Tribune Sunshine then shall rise.
And with the light that never dies
ITS pure celestial radiance blend.
