The gallant bark can save,
Her mainmast’s gone, and hurrying on,
She seeks a watery grave.

And one there stands and wrings his hands,
Amidst the tempest wild,
For on the beach he can not reach,
He sees his wife and child.

Life-saving ark! yon doomed bark
Immortal souls doth bear,
Not gems, nor gold, nor wealth untold,
But men, brave men, are there!
Oh,speed the life boat, speed the life boat,
O God! their efforts crown!
She dashes on—the ship is gone
Full forty fathoms down.
