[1] I was standing on the banks of the river
Looking out over life's troubled [5] sea
When I [1] saw that old ship a-sailing
Is that the ole ship of [5] Zion I [1] see
Its hull was bent and battered
From the storms of life I could see
The waves were rough but that old ship was sailing
Is that the old ship of Zion I see
At the stern of the ship was the captain
I could hear as he called out my name
Get on board it's the old ship of Zion
It may never pass this way again
As I step on board I'll be leavin'
All troubles and trials behind
I'll be safe with Jesus the captain
Sailin' out on the old ship of Zion
[1] I was standing on the banks of the river
Looking out over life's troubled [5] sea
When I [1] saw that old ship a-sailing
Is that the ole ship of [5] Zion I [1] see
Its hull was bent and battered
From the storms of life I could see
The waves were rough but that old ship was sailing
Is that the old ship of Zion I see
At the stern of the ship was the captain
I could hear as he called out my name
Get on board it's the old ship of Zion
It may never pass this way again
As I step on board I'll be leavin'
All troubles and trials behind
I'll be safe with Jesus the captain
Sailin' out on the old ship of Zion
