Brotherhood of the Seas







Brotherhood! glorious! - of the mighty sea,

Brotherhood! victorious in great calamity,

Brotherhood! that raced with speed

To rescue those in dire need.



Brotherhood! - so swift and fleet

To help those buried many feet

Below the unforgiving sea,

Trapped victims of great tragedy.



Brotherhood that rescued, saved,

That risks and many hardships braved,

To help the seven doom-consigned

With plans conceived and well designed



The world watched the scenario

Hail glorious Super Scorpio!

Oh Super Scorpio! - your name

Let it resound and harvest fame!.



The Lord who walked Himself the sea,

Is mindful of calamity,

And with much graciousness endowed

The Super-Scorpio with clout.







Lo! Blessed be the Brotherhood

For noblest effort and pursuit

To save the full-doomed under sea,

And thwart a second tragedy.



Go praise the Lord, for all the seven

Are saved, let thanks rise up to heaven

Kamtschatka sing!- your seven boys

Were rescued, sing and dance, rejoice!



Fair Yelena!  laugh! - weep no more!

They brought your cherished spouse ashore,.

Your faith and trust for good renewed,



Thank God and the brave Brotherhood!

Praise rescuers and praise the crew

Alive, returned to us and you,

And thank the Lord for He is good!

And the brave noble Brotherhood!
