See LYRICS


What ship is this that will take us all home,
O glory, hallelujah!
And safely land us on Canaan's bright shore?
O glory, hallelujah!

(refrain)
'Tis the old ship of Zion, hallelu, hallelu;
'Tis the old ship of Zion, hallelujah!

The winds may blow, and the billows may foam,
O glory, hallelujah!
But she is able to land us all home,
O glory, hallelujah!

(refrain)

She landed all who have gone before,
O glory, hallelujah!
And she is able to land still more,
O glory, hallelujah!

(refrain)

If I arrive there, then, before you do,
O glory, hallelujah!
I'll tell them all that you are coming up, too.
O glory, hallelujah!

(refrain)
