A 
O Death, where is thy sting? 
E         E7           D  E A 
O Grief, where is thy victory? 
A       A7                 D 
O Life, you are a shining path 
D                              A 
And hope springs eternal, just over the rise 
        E               D    E   A 
When I see my redeemer beckoning me 

A 
Oh row my ship over the waves of your sea 
        E                        A 
Let me find a safe port now and then 
       D                        A 
Don't let the dark one in your sanctuary 
   B                       E 
Until it's time to pack it in 
E 
O, row, row my ship 
          A 
With the fire of your breath 
     E                        A 
And don't lay a broadside on your ship as yet 
D 
Blow ye warm winds 
           A 
When it's chilly and wet 
     B 
And don't come to soon 
        E               E7 
For collecting my debt 

A 
O Death, where is thy sting?

O Life, you are a shining path 
D                              A 
And hope springs eternal, just over the rise 
        E               D    E   A    D  A   E  D E A 
When I see my redeemer beckoning me 

A 
Oh let me sail on 

With my ship to the East 
     E                        A 
And keep my eye on the North Star 
          D                      A 
When the journey is no good for man or for beast 
      B                    E 
I'll be safe wherever you are 
 E                          A 
Just let me sail into your harbor of lights 
     E                    A 
And there and forever to cast out my light 
  D 
Give me my task 
        A 
And let me do it right 
    B                     E    E7 
And do it with all of my might 

A 
O Death, where is thy sting? 
E         E7           D  E A 
O Grave, where is thy victory? 
A       A7                 D 
O Life, you are a shining path 
D                              A 
And hope springs eternal, just over the rise 
        E               D    E   A    D  A   E  D E A  D E A  D E A 
When I see my redeemer beckoning me
