The Evergreen ‎#9

9. Sailing For Glory

1 Out on the ocean we're sailing,
Out on the ocean of time,
Bound for the haven of glory,
Bound for a happier clime.

Refrain:
Sailing, sailing, sailing, sailing,
Out on the ocean we're sailing,
Bound for the haven of glory,
Bound for a happier clime.

2 Out on the ocean we're sailing,
Over the white-crested deep;
Leaving the tempests behind us,
Joyously onward we sweep. [Refrain]

3 Out on the ocean we're sailing,
Braving the wind and the tide;
Jesus commandeth our vessel,
Fearlessly onward we glide. [Refrain]

4 Out on the ocean we're sailing,
Bound for yon beautiful shore,
There to be happy with Jesus,
Dwelling in light evermore. [Refrain]
