1.
2.
Throw out the lifeline across the dark wave! There is a brother whom
someone should save; Somebody’s brother! O who then will dare to
throw out the lifeline, his peril to share?
Throw out the lifeline with hand quick and strong: Why do you tarry,
why linger so long? See! He is sinking! Oh, hasten today, and out with
the lifeboat! Away, then, away!
3.
Throw out the lifeline 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
lifeline and save them today.
In Memory of
Anna Lucille Green Anderson
Life Members Council

CHORUS
Throw out the lifeline! Throw out the lifeline! Someone is drifting away.
Throw out the lifeline! Throw out the lifeline! Someone is sinking today.
