Sailors Farewell Hymn

It's our time to go now,
: Haul away your anchor, :
It's our sailing time.

2. Get some sail upon her,
: Haul away your halyards, :
It's our sailing time.

3. Get her on her course now,
: Haul away your fore sheet, :
It's our sailing time.

4. Waves are rolling under,
: Haul away down Channel, :
On the evening tide.

5. When my days are over,
: Haul away for heaven, :
God be by my side.

6. It's our time to go now,
: Haul away your anchor, :
It's our sailing time.
