The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#56

56. We are out on an ocean sailing

1 We are out on an ocean sailing;
Homeward bound, we smoothly glide;
We are out on an ocean, sailing
To a home beyond the tide.

Refrain:
All the storms will soon be over,
Then we’ll anchor in the harbor;
We are out on an ocean, sailing
To a home beyond the tide;
We are out on an ocean, sailing
To a home beyond the tide.

2 Millions now are safely landed
Over on the golden shore;
Millions more are on their journey,
Yet there’s room for millions more. [Refrain]

3 Come on board, oh, ship for glory,
Be in haste, make up your mind,
For our vessel's weighing anchor,
And you may be left behind. [Refrain]

4 When we all are safely anchor'd,
We will shout our journey's o’er,
We will walk about the city,
And will sing for evermore. [Refrain]
