We are joy­ous­ly voy­ag­ing
Over the main,
Bound for the ev­er­green shore,
Whose in­ha­bi­tants ne­ver
Of sick­ness com­plain,
And ne­ver see death any more.

Refrain

Then let the hur­ri­cane roar,
It will the soon­er be o’er;
We will wea­ther the blast,
And will land 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.

Refrain

Both the winds and the waves
Our com­mand­er con­trols;
Nothing can baf­fle His skill;
And His voice when the thun­der­ing
Hurricane rolls,
Can make the loud tem­pest be still.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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 who will ne­ver for­sake.

Refrain

Let the ves­sel be wrecked
On the rock, or the shoal,
Sink to be seen ne­ver more;
He will bear, none the less,
Every pas­sen­ger soul,
Safe, safe to the ev­er­green shore.

Refrain
