SS&S 965: When our ships have crossed the ocean,
1. When our ships have crossed the ocean,
and been all around the world,
When they safely gain the haven, and their sails again are furled;
We rejoice to see them enter, and to know the anchor's cast,
Raising joyful shouts of welcome, for our ships are home at last.
Oh what singing, oh what shouting, when our
ships come sailing home!
They have stood the mighty tempests, they
have crossed the ocean's foam;
They have passed o'er stormy billows, but
they now have gained the shore:
The anchor's cast, they're home at last, the voyage is safely o'er.
2. But if there is such rejoicing to see vessels here get home,
When we know that in a little while these ships again will roam —
Oh, what must it be in heaven when a soul comes sailing in,
To go out no more for ever sailing on the sea of sin?
3. Oh, methinks I hear the angels shout, "Here comes an earthly bark,
She has found her way to heaven, tho' the way was rough and dark:
But she had a star to guide her called the Bright and Morning Star,
It has guided millions over from that distant land afar."
4. So with Jesus as our Captain we expect to gain that shore;
We expect to cast our anchor there, and stay for evermore;
And we know the angels will be there to greet us when we come,
They will join in songs of rapture,
"Welcome home, oh, welcome home

Psalm 33
1 Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous;
it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2 Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4 For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;
he puts the deep into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the people of the world revere him.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.
16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait in hope for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.
