'Tis night! upon the Cornish coast  
'Tis night! upon the Cornish coast
Full loud the breakers roar!  
Full loud the breakers roar!
And helplessly yon gallant barque  
And helplessly yon gallant barque
Drifts on the dark lee shore!  
Drifts on the dark lee shore!
And quickly now the signal guns  
And quickly now the signal guns
Boom high above the gale!  
Boom high above the gale!
O, many a dark-eyed Cornish girl  
O, many a dark-eyed Cornish girl
At that wild sound grows pale!  
At that wild sound grows pale!
"The lifeboat's manned! stand clear ahead!  
"The lifeboat's manned! stand clear ahead!
There's death upon the gale!  
There's death upon the gale!
Cheer up, dear lass, one parting kiss,  
Cheer up, dear lass, one parting kiss,
Your lips look cold and pale!  
Your lips look cold and pale!
The lifeboat's manned! stand clear ahead!  
The lifeboat's manned! stand clear ahead!
No time to sigh for home!  
No time to sigh for home!
Hurrah! the gallant lifeboat  
Hurrah! the gallant lifeboat
Sweeps through the seething foam!  
Sweeps through the seething foam!
Bend boldly to your task, brave hearts!  
Bend boldly to your task, brave hearts!
It is a glorious strife;  
It is a glorious strife;
On every oar-blade flashing high  
On every oar-blade flashing high
There hangs some loved one's life!  
There hangs some loved one's life!
A cheer so faint! comes down the wind!  
A cheer so faint! comes down the wind!
All hands we yet may save,  
All hands we yet may save,
Now lift our gallant lifeboat  
Now lift our gallant lifeboat
Like lightning o'er the wave!
Like lightning o'er the wave!

'Tis night! upon the Cornish coast
Full loud the breakers roar!
And helplessly yon gallant barque
Drifts on the dark lee shore!
And quickly now the signal guns
Boom high above the gale!
O, many a dark-eyed Cornish girl
At that wild sound grows pale!
"The lifeboat's manned! stand clear ahead!
There's death upon the gale!
Cheer up, dear lass, one parting kiss,
Your lips look cold and pale!
The lifeboat's manned! stand clear ahead!
No time to sigh for home!
Hurrah! the gallant lifeboat
Sweeps through the seething foam!
Bend boldly to your task, brave hearts!
It is a glorious strife;
On every oar-blade flashing high
There hangs some loved one's life!
A cheer so faint! comes down the wind!
All hands we yet may save,
Now lift our gallant lifeboat
Like lightning o'er the wave!
