O Lord, steering the boat of Your name,
I shall cross the ocean today.
I shall cross the ocean today.
I shall cross the ocean today.

I will not care
For the cyclone, stormy wind, and tides.
I shall cross the ocean today.

Let anyone call from behind,
Let anybody discourage,
Whatever threatening stories they tell
I will not listen.
I shall cross the ocean today.

Beyond the stormy waves, calm glow falls,
Beyond the coming and going,
Unlimited tranquility calls
I shall cross the ocean today.
