544. Throw Out the Life-Line

1 Throw out the Life-Line across the dark wave,
There is a brother whom some one shall save;
Somebody's brother! oh, who then, will dare
To throw out the Life-Line his peril to share?

Chorus:
Throw out the Life-Line! Throw out the Life-Line!
Some one is drifting away;
Throw out the Life-Line! Throw out the Life-Line!
Some one is sinking today.

2 Throw out the Life-Line, With hand quick and strong,
Why do you tarry, why linger so long?
See! he is sinking; oh, hasten today
And out with the Life-Boat! away, then, away! [Chorus]

3 Throw out the Life-Line to danger-fraught men,
Sinking in anguish where you've never been:
Winds of temptation and billows of woe
Will soon hurl them out where the dark waters flow. [Chorus]

4 Soon will the season of rescue be o'er,
Soon will they drift to eternity's shore,
Haste, then, my brother, no time for delay,
But throw out the Life-Line and save them today. [Chorus]
