109. The Gospel Ship

1 The Gospel Ship is sailing,
Sailing, sailing;
The Gospel Ship is sailing,
Bound for Canaan’s happy shore.
All who would ship for glory,
Glory, glory;
All who would ship for glory,
Come and welcome, rich and poor.

Refrain:
Glory, hallelujah!
All on board are sweetly singing;
Glory, hallelujah!
Hallelujah to the Lamb!

2 Sails filled with heavenly breezes,
Swiftly glides the ship along,
Her company are singing,
Glory, glory is their song. [Refrain]

3 Take passage now for glory,
Sailing o’er life’s troubled sea,
With us you shall be happy,
Happy through eternity. [Refrain]
