What ship is this
that will take us all home,
Oh, glory hallelujah,
And safely land us
on Canaan’s bright shore?
Oh, glory hallelujah.
’Tis the old ship of Zion, hallelujah.
The winds may blow
and the billows may foam,
Oh, glory hallelujah,
But she is able
to land us all home.
Oh, glory hallelujah.
’Tis the old ship of Zion, hallelujah.
She landed all
who have gone before,
Oh, glory hallelujah,
And yet she is able
to land still more,
Oh, glory hallelujah.
’Tis the old ship of Zion, hallelujah.
If I arrive there, then,
before you do,
Oh, glory hallelujah,
I’ll tell them that
you are coming up, too,
Oh, glory hallelujah.
’Tis the old ship of Zion, hallelujah.
