Repeat twice for the first verse
1. What ship is that a sailing, Hallelujah,
What ship is that a sailing, Hallelu.
Do you think that she is able,
For to carry us all home. O glory, Hallelu.
'Tis the old ship of Zion, Hallelujah,
'Tis the old ship of Zion, Hallelu.
Do you think that she is able,
For to carry us all home. O glory, Hallelu.
Do you think that she is able, Hallelujah,
Do you think that she is able, Hallelu.
Do you think that she is able,
For to carry us all home. O glory, Hallelu.
In singing the last two verses the music is not to be repeated.
2. She has landed many a thousand, Hallelujah,
She has landed many a thousand, Hallelu,
She has landed many a thousand,
And will land as many a more. Oh glory, Hallelu.
3. She is loaded down with angels, Hallelujah,
She is loaded down with angels, Hallelu,
And King Jesus is the Captain,
And he'll carry us all home. Oh glory, Hallelu.
