¶Lyrics / Text

'Tis night! upon the Cornish coast Full loud the breakers roar! And helplessly yon gallant barque Drifts on the dark lee shore! And quickly now the signal guns Boom high above the gale! O, many a dark-eyed Cornish girl At that wild sound grows pale! "The lifeboat's manned! stand clear ahead! There's death upon the gale! Cheer up, dear lass, one parting kiss, Your lips look cold and pale! The lifeboat's manned! stand clear ahead! No time to sigh for home! Hurrah! the gallant lifeboat Sweeps through the seething foam! Bend boldly to your task, brave hearts! It is a glorious strife; On every oar-blade flashing high There hangs some loved one's life! A cheer so faint! comes down the wind! All hands we yet may save, Now lift our gallant lifeboat Like lightning o'er the wave!
