Drifting Down

Author: Jessie H. Brown Pounds Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8142 First Line: You are drifting far from shore Refrain First Line: You are drifting down Lyrics: 1 You are drifting far from shore, Leaning on an idle oar, You are drifting, slowly drifting, Drifting down; You are drifting with the tide, To the ocean wild and wide, You are drifting, slowly drifting, Drifting down. Refrain: You are drifting down, Drifting down To the dark and awful sea; You are drifting down From a Father’s loving care, To the blackness of despair, You are drifting, slowly drifting, Drifting down. 2 Lights upon the homeland shore Give you warning o’er and o’er, You are drifting, slowly drifting, Drifting down; Soon beyond the harbor bar Will your boat be carried far, You are drifting, slowly drifting, Drifting down. [Refrain] 3 Voices from the homeland shore Fainter grow as they implore, You are drifting, slowly drifting, Drifting down; O my brother, do not wait; Heed them ere it be too late, Ere forever you have drifted, Drifted down. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [You are drifting far from shore]
