Though malny a beauteous boat, has sunk
the trct-herous wives below,
Yet oirs is sound as site was built, one
hun111dred ye:ars ;go.
When first. otr gaillant ship was launched,
although her iids were few,
Yet dautiless w1s ech bosomn fould, and
every heart wits true !
Atitd still, though inl her mighty hull, Un
Iumlibered bosoms glow,
11er crew is fiithlftil as it was one hundred
years ago.
For onward rides our gallant bark, with all
her caIIvass se,
lit many i nation still unkt,own, to plant
her stiad.rd yet ;
Her flag shall h at where'er the breeze of
freedoin's breath shall blow,
And millions bess tle boat that sailed one
hutdred years ago.
Ont Scotia's coast, in datys of' yore, she lay

rTero Gamteront, Corgill, jochtran -fell;
ttere RIenwick's blood did flow,
Dtefendtinig our good vessel built oneN.(two)
httnde ed years. ago!
Yeot onwmard still ourt vessel pre'sucd, and
weathered otut thte gaile;
She cleared the wreek, andii spliced thie
mtasat, andi mndted every sail,
And swifter, stautnche, mightier fitr', upon
her eriuisit did go
Stontg hantds and gallantt htearts had she,
one hundred yearas ago.
Tirit to that guiding ta r whichi led to
Israel's craidled htope,
hier steady needle poincted yet to Calvary's
bWoody 10op!
Yes, there sihe floats, that good old ship,
from nmuist to keel bjelowv,
Sea-worthy still, as erst shte wvas, oneo hun
droed years tago.
Not unto us, ntot ntnto us, be praise or
g'ory givent.
But, untto lfiim, wh-io wtch antd wvard, hathl
kept for hter int I.eav'en;
Whot~ quldledi the whtirlwiind int itis wirat,
badih etmpests cease to blow,
That God wh io lainnehedl our vessel fortht,
one hundred y.earis ago.
Then ontward' speed lhee, brave oIld1 bark,
speed onward in thy pride,
O'er sunntiy sets tand billows dark, Jehovah
still thty guide,
Andi stacred be eacht plank and spar, Unt
ethanged by friend or foe,
Jlust as site left OLD Itrt.ANI (WVestmninister),
