_ _ _ _ I was _ standing on the _ _ banks of the _ _ river, _ _ _ _
Looking _ _ out over life's troubled [A] _ sea, _ _
_ _ _ When [D] I saw an old ship _ that was sailing.
_ _ _ _ It's that the _ old ship [Bm] of [F#m] Zion I [D] _ _ see, _
_ _ _ Its _ hull _ was bent _ _ and _ _ _ battered _ _
From the _ storms of life I [A] could _ see. _ _
_ _ _ [D] Waves were rough, but that old ship _ _ was sailing.
_ _ _ _ _ It's that the _ old ship [Bm] of Zion [A] I [D] _ _ see, _ _
_ _ At the stern _ of the ship _ stood the captain,
_ _ _ _ _ I could _ hear as he called out [A] my _ _ _ name. _
_ Yet [D] on, Lord, it's the _ old ship of Zion,
_ _ _ _ _ It will _ never pass this [B] way [F#m] _
_ [D] again. _ _ _ _ _
_ As I step _ _ on _ board, I'll be _ leaving
_ _ _ _ All my _ _ troubles and trials _
_ [A] _ behind. _ _ _ _
_ I'll be [D] safe _ with _ _ Jesus the _ captain,
_ _ _ _ _ Sailing _ _ out [Bm] on the old [F#m] ship [D] of Zion. _ _ _ _ _
_ Sailing _ out [Bm] on the old ship [D] of Zion. _
