There's an old ship of Zion—it sails the milky way
Its an old ship of Zion, there's room for you today;
On this old ship of Zion, oh the old ship of Zion,
Oh glory hallelujah, there's room for you today.
Come on my brother get thee on aboard, get thee on aboard,
On this old ship of Zion it sails the milky way;
It carries every nation it carries ev'ry tongue,
Oh glory hallelujah! We're going home someday
There's a Captain on the ship, He walks the deck so brave,
Says He's taking all believers to the other side;
On this old ship of Zion it sails the milky way;
It carries ev'ry nation, we're goin home someday.
Now the deck's all clean and polished, the anchor it is weighed,
The sails are set a flying for heaven's golden shore,
On this old ship of Zion it sails the milky way;
We're goin' home to glory, we're goin' home someday.
