137. We are out on the ocean sailing

1 [Girls]
We are out on the ocean sailing,
Homeward bound we sweetly glide;

[Boys]
We are out on the ocean sailing,
To a home beyond the tide.

Chorus:
All the storms will soon be over,
Then we’ll anchor in the harbor;
We are out on the ocean sailing,
To a home beyond the tide;
All the storms will soon be over,
Then we'll anchor in the harbor
We are out on the ocean sailing,
To a home beyond the tide;

2 Millions now are safely landed,
Over on the golden shore;
Millions more are on their journey,
Yet there’s room for millions more [Chorus]

3 Spread your sails, while heavenly breezes
Gently waft our vessel on;
All on board are sweetly singing--
Free salvation is the song. [Chorus]

4 When we all are safely anchored,
We will shout--our trials o’er;
We will walk about the city,
And we’ll sing for evermore. [Chorus]
