Clouds are upon the summer sky,
There’s thunder in the wind.
Pull on, pull on and homeward hie,
Ne’er give one look behind.

Row on, row on, another day
May shine with brighter light.
Ply, ply the oars and pull away,
There’s dawn beyond the night.

Bear where thou goest the words of love,
Say all that words can say.
Changeless affection, strength to prove,
But speed upon the way.

Row on, row on, another day
May shine with brighter light.
Ply, ply the oars and pull away,
There’s dawn beyond the night.

Like yonder river would I glide
To where my heart would be,
My barque would soon outsail the tide
That hurries to the sea.

Row on, row on, another day
May shine with brighter light.
Ply, ply the oars and pull away,
There’s dawn beyond the night.

But yet a star shines constant still
Through yonder cloudy sky,
And hope as bright my bosom fills
From faith that cannot die.

Row on, row on, another day
May shine with brighter light.
Ply, ply the oars and pull away,
There’s dawn beyond the night.

Row on, row on, God speed the way,
Thou canst not linger here.
Storms hang about the close of day,
Tomorrow may be clear.

Row on, row on, another day
May shine with brighter light.
Ply, ply the oars and pull away,
There’s dawn beyond the night.
