I (D)stood upon a (G)sandy bank
Looking (A7)out upon the (D)ocean
I (G)watched the ships come (D)safely in
To (E)rest upon the (A)shore(A7)
The (D)friends of (A7)those a(D)board her
Were (G)gathered (A7)there to (D)greet them
It (G)made me long for(D) heaven
Where (A7)friends will part no (D)more (G)(D)
I'm (D)sailing toward (D7)home
On the (G)old ship of (D)Zion
I (G)see the lights up(D)on the bank
A(E)cross the misty (A7)foam
(D)Angels (G)guide my (D)vessel
'Til I'm (G)safe with(A7)in the (D)harbor
(G)Captain guide my (A)ship 'til I get (D)home(G) (D)
Now (D)daddy sailed the (G)seas of life
He (A7)knew the storms I'd (D)weather
He (G)told me of a (D)savior who could(E)chart my desti(A)ny
The (D)misty veil has (D7)lifted
And I can (G)plainly (A7)see the (D)harbor
And (G)daddy's standing (D)on the bank
To (A)smile and welcome (D)me
I'm (D)sailing toward (D7)home
On the (G)old ship of (D)Zion
I (G)see the lights up(D)on the bank
A(E)cross the misty (A)foam
(D)Angels (G)guide my (D)vessel
'Til I'm (G)safe with(A7)in the (D)harbor
(G)Captain guide my (A)ship 'til I get(D) home
Oh (G)Captain guide my (A)ship 'til I get (D)home
