Old Ship of Zion
I was standing on the banks of the river,
looking out over Life's troubled sea,
When I saw that Old Ship that was sailing,
Is that the Old Ship of Zion I see?
As I step on board I'll be leaving.
All my troubles and trials behind;
I'll be safe with Jesus, the captain,
Sailing out on the old Ship of Zion.
