On the sea of life
We are on the sea of life
Sailing to a better home
Where the saved of all the earth now abide
Leaving all out trials here,
Many pleasures wait us there,
When we've crossed the foam and reached the other side
Refr
We are sailing onward,
Sailing, sailing o'er the foam
We are talking to the Captain as the angry billows humm
Soon, yes, soon we'll reach the harbor
and be safe beyond the tide
We are going onward to the other side
Many millions now abide,
In that home beyond the tide,
Where the ransomed pilgrims wait free from care
There is room on board for all,
Who will heed the Captain's call,
And take ship for heavens country bright and fair.
