Oh! the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be a breathin'
Like the stillness in the wind
'Fore the hurricane begins
The hour when the ship comes in.

And the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the sands on the
shoreline will be shaking
Then the tide will sound
And the waves will pound
And the morning will be breaking.

Oh! the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls, they'll be smiling
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in.

And, the words that are used
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they're spoken
For, the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And will be buried at the
bottom of the ocean.

A song will lift
As the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
And the sun will respect
Every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in.

Then the sands will roll
Out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a-touchin'
And the ship's wise men
Will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'.

Oh! the foes will rise
With the sleep in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds
and think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
And know that it's for real
The hour that the ship comes in.

Then they'll raise their hands
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands
But we'll shout from the bow
your days are numbered
And, like Pharaoh's tribe,
They'll be drownded in the tide
And like Goliath, they'll be conquered.
