Tekst

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]
