Last night my lads

1. Last night, my lads, we toiled away,
   Oh, so drearily, drearily;
   But we weighed our anchor at break of day,
   Oh, so cheerily, cheerily.
   • Refrain:
     So keep up heart and courage, friends!
     For home is just in sight;
     And who will heed, when safely there,
     The perils of the night?
2. Just so we toil through earth�s dark night,
   Oh, so drearily, drearily;
   Yet we trust to sail at dawn of light,
   Oh, so cheerily, cheerily.
3. Though storm clouds come oft ere we land,
   Oh, so readily, readily;
   Still we trust as guides the Helmsman�s hand,
   Oh, so steadily, steadily.
4. When we reach heaven�s shore �twill be
   Drear, no, nevermore, nevermore;
   Not a toil nor care, but jubilee
   Cheer, yes, evermore, evermore.
