Oh Iona, winds are blowing
Shall I see you home again
Oh Iona, I remember
Days of beauty, days of pain
I believe you I am with you
To a promise I will keep
No lamenting joy is waiting
I shall see you as I sleep
Oh Iona though divided
All my passion I will save
Oh Iona undecided
Stands by waiting, as I pray
O'er the distance, now between us
Sailing homeward on stormy sea
Speed my message of devotion
Born in flame, forged in steel
Oh Iona, how I miss you
Oh my soul cries out for thee
Oh Iona, Oh Iona,
Oh Iona, stand by me
