Take the Life-Boat

Are you wrecked up­on life’s ocean?

Loud the waves ab­out you roar

Still there’s hope

you need not per­ish

You may reach the heav’n­ly shore.

Take the life­boat

take the life­boat

See

the Sav­ior hold­ing out a help­ing hand.

Wait no long­er

take the life­boat

Start today for Heav­en’s bright and hap­py land.

Linger not for earth­ly trea­sures

Yonder lies the land of gold;

Friends and loved ones there are wait­ing

There are joys for you un­told.

Precious souls

like you

have ling­ered

Time enough

they gai­ly said;

Ere the mor­row they had per­ished

They are num­bered with the dead.

Take the life­boat

you are sink­ing

Do not wait a mo­ment more;

This may be your fi­nal of­fer

Hasten now for yon­der shore.
