Throw out the life line across the dark wave

Throw out the life line across the dark wave
There is a brother whom someone should save
Somebody s brother O 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 over
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

This is the life line
Oh tempest tossed men
Baffled by waves of temptation
And sin
Wild winds of passion
Your strength cannot brave
But Jesus is mighty
And Jesus can save

Jesus is able To you
Who are driv n
Farther and farther from
God and from Heav n
Helpless and hopeless
Overwhelmed by the wave
We throw out the life line
Tis Jesus can save

This is the life line
Oh grasp it today
See you are recklessly
Drifting away
Voices in warning shout
Over the wave
O grasp the strong life line
For Jesus can save
