Author: C. H. M. Hymnal: Songs of the Century #110 (1900) First Line: See the ark of God, on the waters launched Refrain First Line: They are coming, yes, they're coming Lyrics: 1 See the ark of God, on the waters launched,
While the waves are tossing high;
To her broad, firm deck for safety flee,
No other refuge nigh.
Refrain:
They are coming, yes, they're coming,
They are coming to the ark tonight;
Like doves to their windows they are flocking, flocking,
They are coming to the ark tonight.
2 Like the wand'ring dove, no rest you'll find
In the wild, dark waste of sin;
And Christ at the window waiting stands,
To take the poor wand'rers in. [Refrain]
3 Many million souls on her decks now stand,
And millions coming still;
For the Captain's voice o'er the sea resounds,
“Come all whosoever will.” [Refrain]
4 Oh, the grand old ark, she will still sail on,
Till the storms of life are past;
Then with Christ our Captain at the helm,
She'll enter the port at last. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [See the ark of God, on the waters launched]
