I watched that old ship pull in years ago. And I passed up many chances to share in its lost goal. And I know someday ‘twill vanish and sail beyond Life’s treacherous reef, Leaving me on life’s banks to suffer man’s last grief. Crying…
CHORUS…
Don’t let the ship sail without me. Lest I should perish trying to conquer life’s sea. I know that I’m unworthy on its Holy decks to be, but don’t let the ship sail without me.”
On its old but sturdy planks there trod the dear old precious saints. Some of them have walked right here so close by me. But they’re almost aboard at last, and the storms of life are past, But when the saints have gone I’ll stand alone if the ship sails without me.
