phyllis sinclair - jewels on the crown of st. john lyrics

awaiting my love, on the bank of the river
i search the horizon, for dark in the dawn
a top mast to rise, with cargo of sugar
for the salt fish and timber, that left from saint john

a merchant marine man he called me his treasure
rare gem unequalled save the jewels carried on
billows and breaks off the crown of his pleasure
sunrise and sunsets off the shore of saint john

no sapphire blue as the crest of the morning
no ruby more gild as the scarlеt bathed dawn
no kingdom with might as the tide of thе fundy
i await with the jewels on the crown of saint john

by this emerald bay, await my returning
words of his parting as the breeze sailed him on
droplets of diamonds that blew on south wind
on the pool of his diademed prize of saint john

no sapphire blue as the crest of the morning
no ruby more gild as the scarlet bathed dawn
no kingdom with might as the tide of the fundy
i await with the jewels on the crown of saint john

oh billows of might, ye fathoms of mercy
up from the depths rain down gilead’s balm
safe passage bestow to my love on the south seas
to the pearl of his pleasure, the waves of saint john
no sapphire blue as the crest of the morning
no ruby more gild as the scarlet bathed dawn
no kingdom with might as the tide of the fundy
i await with the jewels on the crown of saint john
i await with the jewels on the crown of saint john
