Coronation Hymns ‎#53

53. Drifting Away

1 From God and His precepts
So holy and bright;
From paths that are pleasant
Because they are right;
From truths in the Bible
That all should obey—
'Tis sad that so many are drifting away!

Refrain:
Drifting away, drifting away,
'Tis sad that so many are drifting away!

2 From words that were spoken
When Jesus was here;
From all His kind teachings,
So simple, so dear;
From hope in His favor,
That soul-cheering ray--
'Tis sad that so many are drifting away! [Refrain]

3 From grace that is waiting
New prospects to give;
From love that will help them
A new life to live'
From heaven's bright portals
At life's final day—
'Tis sad that so many are drifting away! [Refrain]
