lyrics

Gentlemen, Play on

No cloud hangs over us,
No wind, either, blows.
Clear is thy sky this night,
So bright burn its stars.
Pure shines their fiery bright,
Gold and silver burning light,
Lord, will you raise us there,
As we pass below?

Darkness waits under us,
Still and deep and cold.
Calm is thy sea this night,
Patient, are its waves,
As they wash over us,
Will we then feel your love?
Lord, will you comfort us,
As we pass below?

Will courage be with us,
When that darkness nears?
Great is our need tonight,
Mortal are our fears
And when these waters close,
Please don’t let them take us slow!
Lord, let these hands play on,
As we pass below.

(Aside) Gentlemen, play on.
