Launch the Life-Boat!
Launch the life-boat! see; the ship is stranding!
Launch the life-boat! see; the ship is stranding!There are loved ones you may save:Launch the life-boat from the gospel landing!The storm is on the wave.
Launch the life-boat! launch the life-boat!Tho' the surges roar;Launch the life-boat! launch the life-boatFrom the gospel shore!Wrecks of manhood on the rocks of evil,Wrecks of youth upon the shoals:Quickly launch the blessed gospel life-boat,And gather in the souls.
Oft beneath youth's mild and sunny watersHidden shoals of danger lie;Where's the pilot for our sons and daughters,To guide them safely by?
Oft upon life's dark and stormy oceanSturdy manhood's bark is tossed;Where's the faith that stills the wild commotionBefore a soul is lost?
O for hearts to love as did the MasterThose who sadly fail in life!O for willing hands that labor fasterThe fiercer grows the strife!
