The Evergreen Shore (Chidester)

With song and re­joic­ing we jour­ney along

Bound for the ev­er­green shore

Where saints of all na­tions in one end­less song

Sing prais­es to God ev­er­more.

Then let this wild life-tem­pest roar

Christ Je­sus is guid­ing us o’er;

With our tria­ls all past we will an­chor at last

Safe on the ev­er­green shore.

We’re joy­ful­ly sail­ing o’er life’s ocean wide

Bound for the ev­er­green shore

For Je­sus will wel­come us home to His side

Where sor­row and sigh­ing are o’er.

The trum­pet shall sound

and the dead shall arise

Bound for the ev­er­green shore

For Je­sus

the Ris­en

the One Sac­ri­fice

Has saved us from sin ev­er­more.
