Author: Mrs. J. A. Griffith Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 2 #154 (1890) First Line: Drifting away from Christ in thy youth Refrain First Line: Brother, the Savior has called you before Lyrics: 1 Drifting away from Christ in thy youth,
Drifting away from mercy and truth,
Drifting to sin in tenderest youth,
Drifting away from God.
Chorus:
Brother, the Savior has called you before;
See! you are nearing eternity's shore!
Soon you may perish, be lost evermore,
Jesus now calls for you.
2 Drifting away from mother and home,
Drifting away in sorrow to roam,
Drifting where peace and rest can not come,
Drifting away from God. [Chorus]
3 Drifting away on sin's treach'rous tide,
Drifting where death and darkness abide,
Drifting from heav'n away in your pride,
Drifting away from God. [Chorus]
4 Drifting away from hope's blessed shore,
Drifting away where wild breakers roar;
Drifted and stranded, wreck'd, evermore,
Far from the light of God. [Chorus]
5 Why will you drift on billows of shame,
Spurning His grace again and again?
Soon you'll be lost! in sin to remain,
Ever away from God. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Drifting away from Christ in thy youth]
