Lyics

As down the calm river our light vessel glides,

Or over the billows triumphantly rides,

We are making our way to the Land of the Blest,

The home of the good, where the weary have rest."



This stream will convey us without much delay,

From toils and from troubles for ever away;

Serenely our sun will go down in the west,

When safe we repose in the Land of the Blest.
