Ship Ahoy!

Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: New Songs of the Gospel No. 3 #16 (1907) First Line: We're sailing, sailing over life's great sea Refrain First Line: Ship ahoy! Hear the cry Lyrics: 1 We’re sailing, sailing over life’s great sea, And other ships are passing by; The mighty Saviour shall our Captain be, His star is shining in the sky. But while in safety we may glide along, Led by the Light that never fails, O hear the cry that rises full and strong From those who struggle with the gates. Refrain: Ship ahoy! Hear the cry! “God save them,” we fervently pray! Ship ahoy! Hear the cry! O haste to the rescue today! 2 Lift up the beacon that shall guide the lost Unto the haven bright and fair; O help the wand’ring and the tempest-tossed, That peace and shelter they may share. O bring the shipwrecked to the Lifeboat true, Our Refuge in the wildest storm; Sing out with gladness and with hope anew, Our Captain will his word perform. [Refrain] 3 We’re sailing, sailing over life’s great sea, And not alone our way we take; For others, sailing, look to you and me! O help them for the Master’s sake! The polar star of mercy shines above, Our anchor holds forever more; And dear ones wait, with joyful songs of love, To greet us on the golden shore. [Refrain] Tune Title: [We're sailing, sailing over life's great sea]
