The Quest

(Instrumental intro)

Take heart 
Far out now
On this long journey
Outward bound 
For new discovery
Bound for some promised land
On a great Quest
For our Queen and our country

Sail on
Lay the sails on
From the yardarm
May the wind blow strong
Lay the beam on
Drive us well along
Through another dawning
To whatever lies beyond

Yearning, what is this yearning
Loved ones, left far behind
Will we ever see them again
Or shall the Fates forebode
There shall be no returning

Wind blow
Along this course we go
Reach for, the far horizon
By the stars guide
To that far horizon
Night after night
Chase them on and on and on

Whatever lies beyond
Don’t let the doubts grow
Keep their minds all strong
But what if ……
They were wrong

Land Ho!
I see land Ho!
A safe harbour
A final destination
In this sheltered cove
Praise the Lord
For salvation, let him know
Furl the sails home
Let the anchor go.
