Verse II: 
 
He's fightin' the fever in spite of the chill, he pulls up his collar and he speaks God's will. 
His body is weakened but his faith is still strong, for he's filled with conviction for the mission he's on. 
He knows soon in heaven He'll be homeless no more, As his work will soon echo from that far distant shore. 
 
Repeat chorus:
