'Tis the old ship of Zion,
'Tis the old ship of Zion,
'Tis the old ship of Zion,
Get on board, get on board.

1 It is bound for the land of Canaan,
It is bound for the land of Canaan
It is bound for the land of Canaan
Get on board, get on board. [Chorus]

2 Do you think she will be able,
Do you think she will be able,
Do you thing she will be able,
Get on board, get on board. [Chorus]

3 She has landed many a thousand,
She has landed many a thousand,
She has landed many a thousand,
Get on board, get on board. [Chorus]

4 There aint no danger in the waters,
There's no danger in the waters,
There's no danger in the waters,
Get on board, get on board. [Chorus]

5 Jesus Christ, He is the Captain,
Jesus Christ, He is the Captain,
Jesus Christ, He is the Captain,
Get on board, get on board. [Chorus]

6 She has landed my old mother,
She has landed my old mother,
She has landed my old mother,
Get on board, get on board. [Chorus]

7 She has landed my old father,
She has landed my old father,
She has landed my old father,
Get on board, get on board. [Chorus]
