"O'Brien's Hymn" lyrics

"O'Brien's Hymn"

What dreams may come
As he lies sleeping
I pray that troubles cease
That break thy slumber
Rest ye well
Let quiet waters soothe thy head

And as he sleeps
The angels 'round thee
Have brought ye safely home
Across the oceans
Rest ye well
All those who toil upon the sea

Trust in this
Within the darkest night
Thy dreams will find safe passage to the morning
