1 With song and rejoicing we journey along,
Bound for the evergreen shore,
Where saints of all nations in one endless song
Sing praises to God evermore.
Refrain:
Then let this wild life-tempest roar,
Christ Jesus is guiding us o’er;
With our trials all past we will anchor at last,
Safe on the evergreen shore.
2 We’re joyfully sailing o’er life’s ocean wide,
Bound for the evergreen shore,
For Jesus will welcome us home to His side,
Where sorrow and sighing are o’er. [Refrain]
3 The trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall arise,
Bound for the evergreen shore,
For Jesus, the Risen, the One Sacrifice,
Has saved us from sin evermore. [Refrain]
