We are Voyagers.

By J. Albert Libby; B. R. Hanby

Words by J. Albert Libby.
Music by B. R. Hanby.
1. We are voy'gers on an ocean, and our des-ti-ny we know, For our chart has been pointing out the way; And our Captain he is cheering us as through the night we go, Saying, “Courage, sailors, soon you'll see the day.”

CHORUS.

Then we'll watch and we'll pray, as our ves-sel bears a-way, And we'll nev-er be dishearten'd any more, For the port is getting near-er, and I hear the Mas-ter say, “We shall soon reach the har-bor and the shore.”
2. Though the winds are strongly blowing, and though high the billows roll, It will only make us sigh for land the more; And our rest will be the sweeter when we reach that heav'nly goal, There to shout our voyage over on the shore.—Cho.
3. We have passed the coast of Babylon, and Medo-Persian piers, We have left the realm of Grecia far behind; We've been sailing down the Roman coast for eighteen hundred years, And our chart declares the port we soon shall find.—Cho.
4. Oh! how glorious the moment when our keel shall strike the strand, And our watching eyes once greet the hills of home! There our stay will be eternal with the holy, happy band, And the blissful bow'rs of Eden we may roam.—Cho.
