Verse 1
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 before the hurricane begins,
The hour that the ship comes in
Verse 2
And the sea will split and the ships will hit
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
And the morning will be a-breaking
Verse 3
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
And the seagu--- lls will be a-smilin'
And the rocks on the sand will pro---udly stand
The hour that the ship comes in
Verse 4
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
Will-not-be-understood as they're spoken
Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
And be buried on the bottom of the ooo-o-cean
Verse 5
A song will lift as the main sail shifts
And the boat drifts unto the shoreline
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in
Verse 6
And the sands will rooooll-out a carpet of gold
For your weeeaaried TToes to be a-touchin'
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is waa-a-tchin'
Verse 7
Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real,
The hour that the ship comes in
Verse 8
And they'll raise their hands ,Sayin' we'll meet all you demands
But we'll shout from the bow ,Your days are numbered
And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
And like Goliath they'll be coo-o-nquered
