See cutting the woods Through flood of twin horned Rhine Passes the keel and greased slips over sea Heave men heave And let resounding echo sound our heave The wind raises blasts Wild rainstorms wreak their spite But ready strength of men ready subdues it all Heave men heave And let resounding echo sound our heave ♪ The wind raises blasts Wild rainstorms wreak their spite But ready strength of men ready subdues it all Heave men And let resounding echo sound our heave ♪ Clouds melt away And harsh tempest stills Effort tames all Great toil is conqueror Heave men heave And let resounding echo sound our heave Endure and keep yourselves for happy things You've suffered worse And these too God shall end Heave men heave And let resounding echo sound our heave
