Drifting Too Far from the Shore

1 Out on the perilous deep
Where dangers silently creep
And storms so vi'lently sweep
You are drifting too far from the shore.

Chorus:
Drifting too far from the shore,
You are drifting too far from the shore.
Come to Jesus to-day
Let Him show you the way,
You are drifting too far from the shore.

2 To-day the tempest rolls high
And clouds o'ershadow the sky;
Sure death is hovering nigh,
You are drifting too far from the shore. [Chorus]

3 Why meet a terrible fate
Mercies abundantly wait;
Turn back before its too late,
You are drifting too far from the shore. [Chorus]
