The Gospel Ship

The gospel ship has long been sailing
Bound for Canaan’s peaceful shore
All who call are welcome thither
Welcome, welcome rich and poor

Thousands she has safely landed
Far beyond the earthly shore
Thousands more are sailing thither
Yet there’s room for thousands more

Come poor sinners and go with me
Sail with us o’er life’s rough seas
And with us you will be happy
Happy through eternity

Glory, glory hallelujah
Hark! The sailors loudly cry
See her blissful port of glory
Open to each sailor’s eyes
