With song and re­joic­ing we jour­ney along,
Bound for the ev­er­green shore,
Where saints of all na­tions in one end­less song
Sing prais­es to God ev­er­more.

Refrain

Then let this wild life-tem­pest roar,
Christ Je­sus is guid­ing us o’er;
With our tria­ls all past we will an­chor at last,
Safe on the ev­er­green shore.

We’re joy­ful­ly sail­ing o’er life’s ocean wide,
Bound for the ev­er­green shore,
For Je­sus will wel­come us home to His side,
Where sor­row and sigh­ing are o’er.

Refrain

The trum­pet shall sound, and the dead shall arise,
Bound for the ev­er­green shore,
For Je­sus, the Ris­en, the One Sac­ri­fice,
Has saved us from sin ev­er­more.
