There is a brother whom some one should save;
Somebody’s brother! oh, then will dare
To throw out the Life-Line, his peril to share?
Chorus:
Throw out the Life-Line! Throw out the Life-Line!
Some one is drifting away;
Throw out the Life-Line! Throw out the Life-Line!
Someone is sinking today.
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--
And out with the Life-Boat! away, then, away! [Chorus]
3 Throw out the Life-Line to danger-draught 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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
