Throw Out The Life-Line
Throw out the Life-Line
Across the dark wave,
There is a brother
Whom someone should save;
Somebody's brother!
Oh, who then will dare
To throw out the Life-Line,
His peril to share?
Throw out the Life-Line!
Throw out the Life-Line!
Someone is drifting away!
Throw out the Life-Line!
Throw out the Life-Line!
Someone is sinking today.
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!
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.
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.
