Verse 1
We're floaCting down the stream of time,
We haFve not long to stCay;
The stoCrmy clouds of darkness
Will tuDrn to brightest dGay,
Then lCet us all take courage,
For weF're not left aloCne;
The lifeCboat soon is coAmming
To gatGher the Jewels hoCme
Chorus
Then cheCer, my brother, cheer,
Our triFals will soon be o'Cer,
Our lovCed ones we shall meet, shall meet,
UpDon the golden shGore
We're pilgCrims and we're strangers here,
We're seekFing a city to coCme,
The lifebCoat soon is coAmming,
To gatGher the Jewels hoCme
SometCimes the Devil tempts me,
And saFys it's all in vaCin
To tCry to live a Christian life
And walDk in Jesus' naGme;
But thCen we hear the Master say,
“I'll leFnd you a helping haCnd,
And iCf you'll only trAmust Me,
I'll guiGde you to that laCnd.”
Chorus
Then cheCer, my brother, cheer,
Our triFals will soon be o'Cer,
Our lovCed ones we shall meet, shall meet,
UpDon the golden shGore
We're pilgCrims and we're strangers here,
We're seekFing a city to coCme,
The lifebCoat soon is coAmming,
To gatGher the Jewels hoCme
The lifeCboat soon is coming,
By eyFes of faith I sCee
As sChe sweeps through the waters
To resDcue you and mGe,
And laCnd us safely in the port
With friFends we love so deCar
“GCet ready,” cries the CaAmptain;
“Oh, loGok, she's almost heCre.”
Chorus
Then cheCer, my brother, cheer,
Our triFals will soon be o'Cer,
Our lovCed ones we shall meet, shall meet,
UpDon the golden shGore
We're pilgCrims and we're strangers here,
We're seekFing a city to coCme,
The lifebCoat soon is coAmming,
To gatGher the Jewels hoCme
Oh, noCw's the time to get on board,
While sFhe is passing bCy;
But iCf you stand and wait too long,
You shDall forever dGie;
The faCre is paid for one and all,
The captFain bids you coCme,
And gCet on board the lifAmeboat,
She'll carGry you safely hoCme
Chorus
Then cheCer, my brother, cheer,
Our triFals will soon be o'Cer,
Our lovCed ones we shall meet, shall meet,
UpDon the golden shGore
We're pilgCrims and we're strangers here,
We're seekFing a city to coCme,
