- Version 1:
- Write! Comrade, write!
- On this wondrous sea
- Sailing silently,
- Ho! Pilot, ho!
- Knowest thou the shore
- Where no breakers roar -
- Where the storm is o'er?
- In the peaceful west
- Many the sails at rest -
- The anchors fast -
- Thither I pilot thee -
- Land Ho! Eternity!
- Ashore at last!

- Version 2:
- On this woundrous sea - sailing silently -
- Ho! Pilot! Ho!
- Knowest thou the shore
- Where no breakers roar -
- Where the storm is o'er?
- In the silent West
- Many - the sails at rest -
- Then anchors fast.
- Thither I pilot thee -
- Land! Ho! Eternity!
- Ashore at last!
