We are on the sea of life
Sailing to a better home
Where the saved of all the earth shall abide
Leaving all our trials here
Many pleasures wait us there
When we cross the foam and reach the other side
We are (Sailing on) sailing onward, sailing , sailing o'er the foam
We are talking to the captain as the angry billows hum
Soon yes (Sailing to) soon we'll reach the harbor and we're safely o'er the tide
We are going onward to the other side
Many millions now abide
In that home beyond the tide
Where the reassumed pilgrims wade free from care
There is room on board for all
Who will head the captain's call
And take ship for Heaven's country bright and fair
We are (Sailing on) sailing onward, sailing , sailing o'er the foam
We are talking to the captain as the angry billows hum
Soon yes (Sailing to) soon we'll reach the harbor and we're safely o'er the tide
We are going onward to the other side
