Battle Hymn of the Seven Seas

Being the son of a sailor gives a unique connection to the seas. Whenever I hear the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" I connect it with the water.

Beyond the shores where waves collide,

Beneath the vast and boundless tide,

Our ships sail forth with courage high,

To where the seven seas do lie.

With mast and flag unfurled in flight,

We brave the storms with all our might,

In ocean's grasp, we'll never yield,

Our bond with sea, our sacred shield.

.

Sail on, sail on, across the foam,

In salt-spray mist, our hearts find home.

With courage strong and winds that roar,

We'll conquer waves forevermore!

.

From distant lands to shores unknown,

Our quest for freedom shall be shown,

Through tempests fierce and oceans wide,

We'll chart the course with hearts on our side.

With compass true and stars above,

We navigate with daring love,

For every crest and trough we ride,

Our spirit's bound to ocean's tide.

.

Sail on, sail on, across the foam,

In salt-spray mist, our hearts find home.

With courage strong and winds that roar,

We'll conquer waves forevermore!

.

Oh, let the seven seas proclaim,

Our valor, honor, and our name.

For every sailor, bold and free,

The ocean's call, our destiny.

.

Sail on, sail on, across the foam,

In salt-spray mist, our hearts find home.

With courage strong and winds that roar,

We'll conquer waves forevermore!

.

In every wave that crashes high,

Our anthem echoes to the sky.

The battle hymn of seven seas,

Forever binds us, heart to breeze.

Joy To The Sea

Joy to the sea, the waves crash high,

Let all the waters swell and sigh.

Let every tide and current roar,

Let every tide and current roar,

And waves and whales their songs outpour.

.

Joy to the world, the oceans sing,

Let every creature, every fin,

Join in the chorus, loud and clear,

Let joy resound, let love draw near.

.

Joy to the depths, where mysteries lie,

In coral kingdoms 'neath the sky.

Where creatures dance in all their hues,

Where creatures dance in all their hues,

In seaweed forests, ever anew.

.

Joy to the world, the oceans sing,

Let every creature, every fin,

Join in the chorus, loud and clear,

Let joy resound, let love draw near.

.

From sandy shores to rocky coast,

From Arctic chill to tropic boast,

The ocean's vastness, wide and deep,

In every wave, its secrets keep.

.

Joy to the world, the oceans sing,

Let every creature, every fin,

Join in the chorus, loud and clear,

Let joy resound, let love draw near.

.

So let us cherish, guard, and keep,

This precious world, this endless deep.

And in the ocean's boundless sway,

Find joy that lasts beyond today.
