First Line: Throw out the Life-Line across the dark wave,

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 ?

Throw out the Life- Line !
Throw out the Life-Line !
Someone is drifting away !
Throw out the Life-Line i
Throw out the Life-Line !
Someone is sinking to-day.

2 Throw out the Life-Line with hand
quick and strong :
Why do you tarry, my brother, so long ?
See — he is sinking; oh, hasten today----
And out with the Life-Boat ! away then, 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 out 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 to-day.
