This is a song, a hymn tune that is.
The hymn tune is [Bb] a tune that I grew up singing in church.
[C] The tune is called Hyphrodol.
[B] And it's just one of those beautiful songs that have endured through the years.
[Ab] [Fm] And [Ebm] [B] so [Bbm] [Eb]
the version I used to sing is
Hallelujah, sing to Jesus, he's the scepter, [Bb] [Eb] he's the throne.
So that's the song.
And there's been many, many texts that [B] have been put to [Ebm] this old [F] hymn tune through the years.
So I thought, why not one more?
[Eb]
Though below me I feel no motion
Standing on these mountains and plains
Far away from the rolling ocean
Still my dry land heart can [Gm] say
I've been [Fm] sailing all my [Eb] life [G] now
[Gm] Never [Fm] harbored or poured have I [Eb] known
My wide [Ab] universe [Eb] is the ocean I travel
[Abm] The [Eb] earth is my blue [Bb] [Eb] home
[Ab] [Eb]
Sun, my sail and moon, [Ab] my [Eb] rudder
As I ply the [Ab] starry sea
[Eb] Leaning over the edge in wonder
Casting [Bb] questions into [Eb] the [G] deep
[Gm] Drifting here [Fm] with my ship's [Eb] companions
[Gm] All we [Fm] kindred pilgrim [Eb] souls
Making our [Ab] way [Eb] by the lights [Bb] of the [Eb] heavens
[Ab] In our [Eb] beautiful blue home
I [Ab] [Eb]
give thanks to the waves upholding me
Hear the great [Ab] winds urging me on
[Eb] Read the infinite [Ab] sea before [Eb] me
Sing the sky my sailors song
[Gm] I was [Eb] born [Fm] upon the [Gm] fathoms
Never [Fm] harbored or poured have I known
[Eb] My wide universe [Ab] [Eb] is the ocean I [Bb] [Eb] travel
[Ab] And the earth [Eb] is my blue home
My [Ab] wide universe [Eb] is the ocean I travel
[Ab] And the earth [Eb] is my [F] blue [Eb] home
Blue home
