Lyics

We are joyously voyaging over the main, 

Bound for the evergreen shore,

Whose inhabitants never of sickness complain, 

And never see death anymore.



Then let the hurricane roar, then let the hurricane roar, 

It will sooner be o'er; It will soon be o'er;

We will weather the blast, and we'll anchor at last,

Safe on the evergreen shore.



We have nothing to fear from the wind and the wave,

Under our Savior's command;

And our hearts in the midst of the dangers are brave,

For Jesus will bring us to land.



Both the waves and the winds our Commander controls;

Nothing can baffle his skill;

And his voice, when the thundering hurricane rolls,

Can make the loud tempest be still.



Let the high heaving billow and mountainous wave,

Fearfully overhead break;

There is one by our side that can comfort and save,

There's one that will never forsake.



Let the vessel be wrecked on the rock or the shoal,

Sink to be seen evermore;

He will bear, none the less, every passenger soul,

Safe, safe to the evergreen shore.
