Author: D. O. T. Hymnal: Timeless Truths #549 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Drifting away from Jesus,
Far from His gentle fold,
Wrecked on the waves of sorrow,
Out in the night so cold.
Refrain 1-3:
Oh, am I lost forever?
Lost amid fiendish din?
Oh, can there be no lifeboat
On the dark ocean of sin?
2 Drifting away from Jesus,
Day after day I glide,
Swiftly the billows bear me
Over the surging tide. [Refrain]
3 Drifting away from Jesus,
Helpless, and tossed with care;
Soon I shall land forever
Somewhere, I know not where. [Refrain]
4 Drifting away from Jesus,
Far from His courts of love,
Oh, do you see! A lifeboat
Sails from the ports above!
Refrain 4:
Over the bounding billows,
Jesus, my Savior, sends
Help to my storm-tossed spirit;
Praise to the Friend of friends! Topics: Warning Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:19 Tune Title: [Drifting away from Jesus]
