 Cast out thy sail O' Christopher, and sail across the sea To land that burns a brighter sun, with riches, sand, and tree Sail across the ocean blue, from thy homeland Spain That you may measure this your course, to travel here again And with thee mighty vessels take, for thy journey's far And use a compass by the day, at night be led by star Cast out thy sail O' Christopher, and brave thy wind and rain That you may mark your journey home, and tell your tales to Spain Cast out thy sail O' Christopher, for thy visions sake Across the mighty ocean vast, for claims that you might stake Sing out, "Land Ho", Sing out, "Land Ho"--fast tie thy vessels bind To explore this new foreign land, and report the Queen your find Cast out thy sail O' Christopher, and be not faint of heart For when you cross the ocean deep, wisdom you will impart Thy world is round, tis not flat-- as once was thought to be Cast out thy sail O' Christopher, and sail across the sea.
