On Loves Fair Shore

On bent knee we did first agree To pursue loves true course From my trembling lips the question asked My eager ears for your words to leave From precious vessel and heart receive To begin lives journey with friend in hand And to ask Gods’ blessings on our plans For over treacherous or calm blue seas Our two hearts agree to sail with thee As our vows tie us two in masters sailors knot Tied by you We cast off with love full force on our sails Sweet serenity upon our face Until at last gale force winds appear The vessel runs off course And two hearts struggle with the winds full force Until at last through gale force winds are heard The captains shouts as whispers on the wind Is your faith shaken by the raging storm But I have heard your pleas many times before A sailor's true test is in the storm Where sailors are made and captains are born I have sailed this course many times before And you will land once again On loves fair shores
