Out on the perilous deep
Where danger silently creeps,
And storms so violently sweeping,
You're drifting too far from the shore.

You're drifting too far from the shore,
You're drifting too far from the shore,
Come to Jesus today, let Him show you the way,
You're drifting too far from the shore.

Today the tempest rose high
And clouds o'ershadow the sky,
Sure death is hovering nigh,
You're drifting too far from the shore.

You're drifting too far from the shore,
You're drifting too far from the shore,
Come to Jesus today, let Him show you the way,
You're drifting too far from the shore.

Why meet a terrible fate?
Mercies abundantly wait,
Turn back before it's too late,
You're drifting too far from the shore.

You're drifting too far from the shore,
You're drifting too far from the shore,
Come to Jesus today, let Him show you the way,
You're drifting too far from the shore.
