Refrain: See! they are drifting, your brothers are drifting, See! they are tossing on sin’s dreadful wave! Like to a trumpet your voices be lifting, Call them to Jesus, the mighty to save. 2 Darkness and danger are surely before them, Farther and farther they’re drifting away; Forward! my brothers, to warn and implore them, Call them to Jesus, lest farther they stray. [Refrain] 3 Call to them, brothers, their barks to be turning, Point to the beacon of safety and light; Point to the beacon for wanderers burning, Lighting the pathway to Edenland bright. [Refrain] Scripture: Isaiah 58:1 Tune Title: [Out on sin's ocean the careless are drifting]
