Who will man the life-boat?
Who the storm will brave?
Many souls are drifting
Helpless on the wave;
See their hands uplifted,
Hear their bitter cry;
“Save us ere we perish,
Save us ere we die!”
Who will man the life-boat?
Who will launch away?
Who will help to rescue
Dying souls to-day?
Who will man the life-boat?
Who will breast the wave,
All its dangers braving,
Precious souls to save?
See! Amid the breakers
Yonder vessel tost!
Onward to the rescue:
Haste, or all is lost!
Waves that dash around us
Cannot overwhelm,
While our faithful Pilot
Standeth at the helm.
Who will man the life-boat?
Who will launch away?
Who will help to rescue
Dying souls to-day?
Who will man the life-boat?
Who will breast the wave,
All its dangers braving,
Precious souls to save?
Darker yet, and darker
Grows the fearful night:
Sound the trump of mercy,
Flash the signal light!
Bear the joyful message
O’er the raging wave;
Christ, the heavenly Pilot,
Comes the lost to save!
Who will man the life-boat?
Who will launch away?
Who will help to rescue
Dying souls to-day?
Who will man the life-boat?
Who will breast the wave,
All its dangers braving,
Precious souls to save?
