'Tis the Old Ship of Zion

It has landed many a thousand

Choral
	Oh, Glory!

1 'Tis the ol' ship of Zion,
'Tis the ol' ship of Zion,
'Tis the ol' ship of Zion;
Get on board, get on board!

2 It has landed many a thousand,
It has landed many a thousand,
It has landed many a thousand;
Get on board, get on board!

3 King Jesus is the captain,
King Jesus is the captain,
King Jesus is the captain;
Get on board, get on board!
