1.We are joyously voyaging over the main,Bound for the evergreen shore,Whose inhabitants never of sickness complain,And never see death any more.Chorus:Then let the hurricane roar,It will the sooner be o'er;We will weather the blast, and we'll land at last,Safe on the evergreen shore.2.We have nothing to fear from the wind and the wave,Under our Saviour's command;And our hearts in the midst of the dangers are brave,For Jesus will bring us to land. [Chorus]3.Both the wind and the wave our Commander controls,Nothing can baffle his skill;And his voice when the thundering hurricane rolls,Can make the loud tempest be still. [Chorus]4.In the thick murky night, when the stars and the moon,Send not a glimmering ray,Then the light of his countenance, brighter than noon,Will drive all our terror away. [Chorus]5.Let the high-heaving billows and mountainous wave,Fearfully overhead break;There is One by our side that can comfort and save,There is One who will never forsake. [Chorus]
