Oh Captain



Oh Captain, my Captain

Captain of the land

Captain of the sea


When we thought

All was naught

In life’s threatening storm

Safely you delivered us


In the midst of nothing

You made us something

Despite man’s lust for war

From you we receive love


Oh Captain, my Captain

Captain of the land

Captain of the sea


What can we compare you with?

What can we measure you with?


The strongest of gods

Before you tremble

The weakest of men

Is strong in your presence


Because of your love

We have survived another day

Because of your love

We are alive this day


Oh Captain, my Captain

Captain of humanity

Captain of the universe

A Captain indeed you are
