Watch on YouTube: The Good Ship Zion


Come embark upon the Good Ship Zion,

Leaving all to sail across the seas.

An adventure fit for any sailor

Waits for those who long to feel the breeze.

 

Ever blessed upon the Good Ship Zion,

Master seamen keep her on her course;

Flying free of danger as we crest each wave,

Sailing true to wisdom’s faithful source.

Sailing home upon the Good Ship Zion,

Weather fair, the breeze is at our back.

Sun and stars of glory here to guide us.

In the hold, there's nothing that we lack.

 

Sailing home upon the Good Ship Zion.

Our Dear Lord, as Captain, takes the helm,

Ever leading us to ports of wond’rous light,

And at last, to His celestial realm.


Storms may blow upon the Good Ship Zion,

Tossed and turned, she navigates the waves.

Though the clouds may gather low and threat'ning,

Still she sails, yes, every storm she braves.

 

Sailing on, upon the Good Ship Zion,

Ever stronger, 'til the storm is past.

Guide us true, to land on long forgotten shores,

Sailing on to bring us home at last.
