Ascending oft unto the mount to pray
Instructed in the manner of the Lord
A ship is built, fine workmanship displayed 
Go down into the ship is heavens word

In rudeness and in merriment Some played 
Nephi feared the Lord and spoke his mind 
Hardened and in bitterness they stayed 
With Nephi bound, to pleading tears were blind

Nothing save the awful power of God 
That threatened them with death beneath the sea
Would soften heart and in their humbling awed 
Great calm on water and in family

Nephi guides the ship for many days 
A promised land is found, they sing and praise
