Hurrah! for the Life-boat's crew, The men who are gallant and true, Whose hearts know no fear, as their brave boat they steer In the trough of the angry sea; Let us cheer them once more, as they pull for the shore, For onr heroes they always shall be; "With men such as they, we can make the world say That Britons must ever be free.
