The Old Rugged Cross

歌詞

There's a light in the distant darkness tonight Soon we'll be there, tomorrow I swear May the fire in your heart and eyes be as bright This is my silent prayer. So rest, baby rest - by the shining be blest Never in shadows lost This lone holy candle is guiding us on Under the Southern Cross. There were birds in the twilight, reeling on high Like Noah's sign, their freedom was mine And although they were wandering in a strange sky Theirs was the far shoreline. So hush, baby, hush - by wing sounding rush Never in sunset lost These cloud-dwelling dreamers are guiding us on Under the Southern Cross. And this ship has seen glory, heartache and mirth Sunlight and hail, in doldrums and gale Though she's ten thousand miles from the land of her birth On through this night we sail. So sleep, baby, sleep - by the wind and the deep Never again be tossed This proud weary traveler's taking us home Under the Southern Cross.
