Glad Tidings in Song ‎#81

81. The Gospel Ship

1 The gospel ship is coming,
Is coming, is coming,
The gospel ship is coming,
She’s nearing now in sight.

Refrain:
We’re bound for the heav’nly land,
We’re bound for the heav’nly land,
We’re bound for the heav’nly land,
We’ll anchor by and by.

2 Her crew on board are singing,
Are singing, are singing,
Her crew on board are singing
About her prospects bright. [Refrain]

3 All glory to our Captain,
Our Captain, our Captain,
All glory to our Captain,
Who guides the ship along. [Refrain]

4 Soon we shall be with Jesus,
With Jesus, with Jesus,
Soon we shall be with Jesus,
And praise Him evermore. [Refrain]
