sail­ing

To a home where joys ne’er die;
To a home where joys ne’er die;
And oth­er ships are pass­ing by;
In a few more brief mo­ments,
On Christ­mas day, on Christ­mas day;
They have stood the migh­ty tem­pests,
And our Sav­ior on the sea
For the Ca­naan above we are bound;
So weary from life’s race;
For the Ca­naan above we are bound;
end
Out across the sea,
Bound for the ev­er­green shore,
Bound for the ev­er­green shore,
Earthly joys can­not com­pare with all the glo­ry,
And thy great ad­mir­al or­ders thee:
Should thy sky ad­verse­ly low­er,
Let an­gels be our con­voy, too.
Tho’ tem­pests are toss­ing me high,
This won­drous ship of fame?
