To throw out the Life-line, his peril to share?
Throw out the Life-line with hand quick and strong!
Why do you tarry, why linger so long?
See! he is sinking; oh, hasten today—
And out with the Life-boat! away, then away!
Chorus.
Throw out the Life-line!
Throw out the Life-line!
Some one is drifting away;
Throw out the Life-line!
