<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>I was drifting away on life’s pitiless sea,<br>
|
|
And the angry waves threatened my ruin to be,<br>
|
|
When away at my side, there I dimly descried,<br>
|
|
A stately old vessel, and loudly I cried:<br>
|
|
“Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy!”<br>
|
|
And loudly I cried: “Ship ahoy!”</p>
|
|
<p>’Twas the “old ship of Zion,” thus sailing along,<br>
|
|
All aboard her seemed joyous, I heard their sweet song;<br>
|
|
And the Captain’s kind ear, ever ready to hear,<br>
|
|
Caught my wail of distress, as I cried out in fear:<br>
|
|
“Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy!”<br>
|
|
As I cried out in fear: “Ship ahoy!”</p>
|
|
<p>The good Captain commanded a boat to be low’red,<br>
|
|
And with tender compassion He took me on board;<br>
|
|
And I’m happy today, all my sins washed away<br>
|
|
In the blood of my Savior, and now I can say:<br>
|
|
“Bless the Lord! Bless the Lord!”<br>
|
|
From my soul I can say: “Bless the Lord!”</p>
|
|
<p>O soul, sinking down ’neath sin’s merciless wave,<br>
|
|
The strong arm of our Captain is mighty to save;<br>
|
|
Then trust Him today, no longer delay,<br>
|
|
Board the old ship of Zion, and shout on your way:<br>
|
|
“Jesus saves! Jesus saves!”<br>
|
|
Shout and sing on your way: “Jesus saves!”</p>
