66. Pull Away

1 Sailors bound for yonder shore,
Pull away, pull away;
Soon the voyage will be o'er,
Pull away, pull away.
Though in face of wind and tide,
You will all the storms outride,
Soon will gain the other side,
Pull away, pull away.

Chorus:
Pull, pull away, pull, pull away,
'Till the closing of the day;
Keep on working as you pray,
Pull away, pull away.

2 Send the boat o'er yonder crest,
Pull away, pull away;
This is not the time to rest,
Pull away, pull away.
If you bravely face the blast,
'Till the storm of life is past,
You will rest at home at last,
Pull away, pull away. [Chorus]

3 If to Christ you would prove true,
Pull away, pull away;
There's a work for you to do,
Pull away, pull away.
Whisper in a sinners ear
Words of comfort, and of cheer;
God will help you, do not fear,
Pull away, pull away. [Chorus]

4 'Till your work on earth is done,
Pull away, pull away;
'Till the crown of life is won,
Pull away, pull away.
'Till your boat has crossed the foam,
Anchored there, no more to roam,
'Till with Jesus, safe at home,
Pull away, pull away. [Chorus]
