Come, tell of your ship
and what is her name?
Oh, tell me, happy sailor!
Come, tell of your captain
and what is his name?
Oh, tell me, happy sailor!
She’s the old ship of Zion, hallelu!
And her captain,
Judah’s Lion, hallelujah.
Say, is her keel sound,
her garner well stored?
Oh, tell me, happy sailor!
And will she leave
other comrades on board?
Oh, tell me, happy sailor!
She’s the old ship of Zion, hallelu!
And her captain,
Judah’s Lion, hallelujah.
She will land us safe
on Canaan’s bright shore,
Oh, glory, hallelujah!
We’ll land with our friends,
who’ve gone on before,
Oh, glory, hallelujah!
She’s the old ship of Zion, hallelu!
And her captain,
Judah’s Lion, hallelujah.
