1 Hark! hark! there’s a cry from the deep,
A soul is singing, arise from your sleep!
Will no one save, no life-boat at hand?
No one have strength to bring him to land?
No one have strength to bring him to land?

Refrain:
Hark! hark! O hear the sad cry;
Hark! hark! to the help quickly fly!
Arouse! arouse! arouse!
O hasten to help him before he shall die.

2 Help! help! the sad cry comes once more,
He’s struggling and battling to gain the shore;
How the waves thrash and wild billows roll,
Can no one save this perishing soul?
Can no one save this perishing soul? [Refrain]

3 Th’life-boat with Christ at the helm,
Is ready; the billows no longer o’erwhelm;
The waves divide at His blessed will,
Their terrors cease at His whisper, “be still,”
Their terrors cease at His whisper, “be still.” [Refrain]

4 Come in this life-boat and live,
With Jesus who suffered and His life did give,
That thou’d be saved from danger and woe,
Take Him for you guide wherever you go,
Take Him for you guide wherever you go. [Refrain]
