Author: Mrs. Harriet E. Jones Hymnal: Songs of Love and Praise No. 4 #87 (1897) First Line: Out on sin's ocean the careless are drifting Refrain First Line: See! they are drifting, your brothers are drifting Lyrics: 1 Out on sin’s ocean the careless are drifting,
Far from the beacon that leadeth aright;
Servants of Jesus, your voices be lifting,
Calling them back from the darkness of night.
Refrain:
See! they are drifting, your brothers are drifting,
See! they are tossing on sin’s dreadful wave!
Like to a trumpet your voices be lifting,
Call them to Jesus, the mighty to save.
2 Darkness and danger are surely before them,
Farther and farther they’re drifting away;
Forward! my brothers, to warn and implore them,
Call them to Jesus, lest farther they stray. [Refrain]
3 Call to them, brothers, their barks to be turning,
Point to the beacon of safety and light;
Point to the beacon for wanderers burning,
Lighting the pathway to Edenland bright. [Refrain] Scripture: Isaiah 58:1 Tune Title: [Out on sin's ocean the careless are drifting]
See! They are Drifting
