To a haven of comfort and rest; It’s a ship of God’s fashion and making, And its voyage by Him will be blest. You have watched it sail onward and outward, With a tear of regret in your eye. For a loved one was sailing upon it, And there’s grief when you’re saying goodbye. O, the solace there is in the knowledge, Life is life and it always will be, And it’s simply a change of direction When we sail on His ship out to sea.
