Throw out the life-line across, the dark wave

1.

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?

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 then away

And out with the life boat away

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 back where the dark waters flow

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
