The Bright Array ‎#44

44. Evergreen Shore

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.

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.

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. [Refrain]

3 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]
