The Navigators

The Navigators lyrics by Jude Reid

To the tune of Sacred Harp 121 (Florence), recording and score on youtube, tune is the middle line.

---

So many times the stars have turned

Since in those days of yore

The Navigators first set sail

To seek a distant shore

Through chilling winds and beating rains,

Through waters deep and cold,

Their enemies surrounding them,

Take courage and be bold.

Though storms and hurricanes arise,

And foes be all around,

And foul Eternals may appear,

To profane the sacred ground.

Dark nights and clouds and gloomy fear —

And dragons fearsome roar

We'll hold as fast as heros of old

Who sailed for Highguard's shore.
