1 The ship is on the ocean,
We'll anchor by and by;
The ship is on the ocean,
We'll anchor by and by.
Chorus:
We'll stand the storm, it won't be long,
We'll anchor by and by;
We'll stand the storm, it won't be long,
We'll anchor by and by.
2 She's making for the landing,
We'll anchor by and by;
She's making for the landing,
We'll anchor by and by. [Chorus]
3 We're crossing over Jordan,
We'll anchor by and by;
We're crossing over Jordan,
We'll anchor by and by. [Chorus]
4 King Jesus is our captain,
We'll anchor by and by;
King Jesus is our captain,
We'll anchor by and by. [Chorus]
