Arranger: | Rev. E. S. Ufford |
1 Throw out the Life-Line across the dark wave,
There is a brother whom some one should save;
Somebody's brother, O, who then will dare,
To rescue the lost one, 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, my brother, so long?
See! he is sinking, O, hasten today,
Then out with the lifeboat, 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 this season of rescue be o'er,
Soon will we rest on the fair Eden shore;
Trust, now, his mercy so gracious and free,
For Jesus has thrown out the Life-Line to thee. [Chorus]
