| Faintly as tolls the evening chime | D |
| Our voices keep tune and our oars keep time | D |
| Soon as the woods on shore look dim | E |
| We'll sing at St Ann's our parting hymn | E |
| Row brothers row the stream runs fast | F |
| The Rapids are near and the daylight's past | F |
| - | |
| Why should we yet our sail unfurl | G |
| There is not a breath the blue wave to curl | G |
| But when the wind blows off the shore | B |
| Oh sweetly we'll rest our weary oar | B |
| Blow breezes blow the stream runs fast | F |
| The Rapids are near and the daylight's past | F |
| - | |
| Utawas' tide this trembling moon | C |
| Shall see us float over thy surges soon | C |
| Saint of this green isle hear our prayers | H |
| Oh grant us cool heavens and favoring airs | H |
| Blow breezes blow the stream runs fast | F |
| The Rapids are near and the daylight's past | F |
