JONAH
By E. J. Bash
©1964 by the American Lutheran Church

1. We sail a ship with a man named Jonah, (3x) Early in the morning.

2. Lord, our God, have mercy on us, (3x) Early in the morning.

3. Fall on your knees, for the sea in raging, (3x) Early in the morning.

4. Who is the guilty one among us? (3x) Early in the morning.

5. Cast the lot, and the number's Jonah! (3x) Early in the morning.

6. Row, men, row to save this Jonah! (3x) Early in the morning.

7. Done, and the sea has ceased its raging. (3x) Early in the morning.

8. Lord, send a fish and a resurrection. (3x) Early in the morning.

9. What shall we do when the world is drowning? (3x) Early in the morning.

10. Lord, send a fish and a resurrection. (3x) Early in the morning.

11. Lord, our God, have mercy on us, (3x) Early in the morning.
