What ship is this you’re sailing in,
This wondrous ship of fame?
The ship is called the Church of God,
And Christ’s the Captain’s name.

Refrain
Come join our happy crew!
We’re bound for Canaan’s shore!
The Captain says, There’s room for you
And room for millions more.

What wages do you get on board
This ship that you commend?
We’ve love and joy and peace and grace
And glory in the end.

Refrain
Come join our happy crew!
We’re bound for Canaan’s shore!
The Captain says, There’s room for you
And room for millions more.

Then hoist the sails and catch the breeze
And soon the journey’s o’er.
The ship will land you safe at last
On Canaan’s happy shore.

Refrain
Come join our happy crew!
We’re bound for Canaan’s shore!
The Captain says, There’s room for you
And room for millions more.
