On moon lite nights, they stood on deck; eyes looking for the peace

They knew was soon to come, but still it was just out of reach

The ship, tossing and turning, as waves broke over the bow

Storm clouds rushing towards the ship as if they were not going to allow them the peace

Hands clasped in prayer and heads hung low

They prayed to God to let them make this Voyage

The sun was shining, and the waters calm

I believe it was just at dawn

High above their heads, a voice called out, "Land Ho"

Hearts beating fast all came from below

They stood at the rails eyes full of joy

Each women, man and each little boy

From out of the mist rose trees and much green

A rock to the side

And they knew the trip was over, such a long ride

No name was there for this new land, but we know it now

The voyage God had led them, and had allowed
