Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

On a cold winter’s night, with storm at its height, the lifeboat answered the call
\nThey pitched and they tossed till we thought they were lost, as we watched from the harbor wall
\nThough the night was pitch black, there was no turning back, for someone was waiting out there
\nBut each volunteer had to live with his fear as the joined in a silent prayer<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nHome, home, home from the sea
\nAngels of mercy, answer our plea
\nAnd carry us home, home, home from the sea
\nCarry us safely home from the sea<\/p>\n

As they battle their way past the mouth of the bay, it was blowing like never before
\nAs they gallantly fought everyone of them thought of loved ones back on the shore
\nThen a flicker of light and they knew they were right, there she was, on the crest of a wave
\n“She’s an old fishing boat and she’s barely afloat. Please God there are souls we can save”.<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

And back in the town, in a street that runs down to the sea and the harbor wall,
\nThey gathered in pairs at the foot of the stairs to wait for the radio call
\nAnd just before dawn, when all hope was gone, came a hush and a far away sound
\n“Twas the coxswain\u2014he roared\u2014all survivors on board. Thank God and we’re homeward bound”<\/p>\n
