Out on the perilous sea of life,
Some one is drifting away tonight;
Out in the darkness, where the storm rages wild,
Throw out the life-line to some mother’s child.
Hold it fast while the waves roll high,
Jesus will rescue you by and by.
Saved at last, what a joy to know,
Take hold of the life-line, and never let go.
Farther and farther they drift each day,
Resting their oars on the ocean’s white spray,
Dreaming of pleasure without alloy.
Throw out the life-line to some mother’s boy.
Hold it fast while the waves roll high,
Jesus will rescue you by and by.
Saved at last, what a joy to know,
Take hold of the life-line, and never let go.
Quick to the rescue while yet you may,
Succor the perishing, save one today;
Tell them of Jesus who came to save.
He that believeth salvation may have.
Hold it fast while the waves roll high,
Jesus will rescue you by and by.
Saved at last, what a joy to know,
Take hold of the life-line, and never let go.
Now I surrender my all to Him,
Jesus has rescued and saved me from sin;
Beautiful visions burst on my sight,
Glory to Jesus, I’m saved tonight.
Holding fast while the waves roll high,
Jesus has rescued me, this my cry.
Saved I am, what a joy to know;
I’m holding the life-line, I’ll never let go.
