The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Soft, softly as over the water we creep
Winds seem to sigh
Dark, dark is the night and the world is asleep
Wakeful am I
Slow, slow though the river may flow
Soon, soon I shall be
Safe, safe in the harbor
Where someone I know waits for me
Go, little boat, serenely gliding
Over the silver water riding
Nought but the stars I see shining above
Flow, river carry me to him I love
Go, little boat, serenely gliding
Love at the helm your course is guiding
Fair winds to hasten you may fortune send
Till I come safe to journey’s end, Ah
