Come Aboard!
Majestic liner cruising bottomless seas
Desiring pure, chaste, and virtuous ports afar.
Spacious staterooms and cabins arranged for a queen.
Oceans ahead so smooth she\'d skate not sail,
This mystic vessel is the \"Ave Maria.\"
The fleet of three, berthed along the bay front dock,
Denying the birth of God and the Trinity,
Set sail for the good of mankind, this truth they hold.
But rocky shores and stormy waters do slow
The \"Socinean,\" \"Arian,\" and \"Nestorian Sword.\"
Bustling harbors, vivacious yachts; beauty!
But truth?
The waters sullied by some fifty shades of grey,
Loud shrieks of pleasure heard from the deck below board.
Haunting, treacherous shallows and bars along the way,
Her lifeboats more seaworthy than the \"C. Jansen\" herself.
One noble craft to satisfy all man\'s yearnings is now ashore.
Come aboard, all aboard!
Rich and poor alike, there are no tickets for sale, nothing to buy.
All one must do is choose.
