The Ship Of The King Is Sailing

Author: Adam Dan Meter: 8.8.9.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Spiritual Songs Faith Lyrics: 1 The ship of the King is sailing From earth to the heavenly land; It steadily cuts through the billows, Controlled by His masterly hand. 2 Adrift over life's dark ocean Are wrecks of the proud and forlorn Who, scorning the compass and pilot, Were put by the billows to scorn. 3 But safely through shoals and shallows, Through storms and the billow's wild roar, The ship of the King presses onward To heaven's the sun lighted shore. 4 And foremost among His heroes Is standing the King of all kings, His features are bright as the sunlight, His voice with great tenderness rings. 5 He views the ship-wrecked with sadness, And calling to east and to west, He gathers them into the life-boat, As many as long for His rest. 6 And quickly the ship is filling With precious souls on it way, And soon we shall run into harbor And into the sun-lighted day.
