|
<p>Throw out the life line across the dark wave;<br>
|
|
There is a brother whom someone should save;<br>
|
|
Somebody’s brother! O who then will dare<br>
|
|
To throw out the life line, his peril to share?</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Throw out the life line! Throw out the life line!<br>
|
|
Someone is drifting away;<br>
|
|
Throw out the life line! Throw out the life line!<br>
|
|
Someone is sinking today</p>
|
|
<p>Throw out the life line with hand quick and strong:<br>
|
|
Why do you tarry, why linger so long?<br>
|
|
See! he is sinking; oh, hasten today<br>
|
|
And out with the life boat! away, then away!</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Throw out the life line to danger fraught men,<br>
|
|
Sinking in anguish where you’ve never been;<br>
|
|
Winds of temptation and billows of woe<br>
|
|
Will soon hurl them out where the dark waters flow.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Soon will the season of rescue be o’er,<br>
|
|
Soon will they drift to eternity’s shore;<br>
|
|
Haste, then, my brother, no time for delay,<br>
|
|
But throw out the life line and save them today.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>This is the life line, oh, tempest tossed men;<br>
|
|
Baffled by waves of temptation and sin;<br>
|
|
Wild winds of passion, your strength cannot brave,<br>
|
|
Jesus is mighty, Jesus can save.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Jesus is able! To you who are driv’n,<br>
|
|
Farther and farther from God and from Heav’n;<br>
|
|
Helpless and hopeless, o’erwhelmed by the wave;<br>
|
|
We throw out the life line, ’tis “Jesus can save.”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>This is the life line, oh, grasp it today!<br>
|
|
See, you are recklessly drifting away;<br>
|
|
Voices in warning, shout o’er the wave,<br>
|
|
Grasp the strong life line, for Jesus can save.</p>
