Lyrics
Man the lifeboat! quick, my brother,
Send it speeding o'er the wave,
If you hasten to the rescue,
Some poor sailor you may save,
Sinking fast in sin's dark waters,
Helpless 'mid the breakers high,
Man the lifeboat! quick, oh, hasten,
To the rescue ere they die.
Man the lifeboat! to the rescue!
Hasten, hasten on your way!
With the beacon lights to guide you,
From the wreck you cannot stray;
Speed away, the ship is sinking,
Go and work 'mid scenes of woe;
Man the lifeboat! nerve for action,
To the rescue, brother, go.
Man the lifeboat! struggling seamen!
Battle now with raging wave!
See! they cling to spar and timber,
Precious lives your hand can save;
Leaps the angry surge about them
As to drown their pleading cry,
Man the lifeboat! flash your signal!
Let them know that help is nigh.
Man the lifeboat! God will aid you;
Out across life's storm-tossed wave,
Wrecks the waters dark are strewing,
On them some whom you can save;
Carry quick the cups of comfort,
Pick them up in Jesus' name,
Man the lifeboat! rescue some one,
From the wreck some soul reclaim.
Chorus:
Away! away! God's Spirit speed you,
Rescue some poor soul today!
Away, away! God's Spirit lead you,
To the rescue, speed away!
Send it speeding o'er the wave,
If you hasten to the rescue,
Some poor sailor you may save,
Sinking fast in sin's dark waters,
Helpless 'mid the breakers high,
Man the lifeboat! quick, oh, hasten,
To the rescue ere they die.
Man the lifeboat! to the rescue!
Hasten, hasten on your way!
With the beacon lights to guide you,
From the wreck you cannot stray;
Speed away, the ship is sinking,
Go and work 'mid scenes of woe;
Man the lifeboat! nerve for action,
To the rescue, brother, go.
Man the lifeboat! struggling seamen!
Battle now with raging wave!
See! they cling to spar and timber,
Precious lives your hand can save;
Leaps the angry surge about them
As to drown their pleading cry,
Man the lifeboat! flash your signal!
Let them know that help is nigh.
Man the lifeboat! God will aid you;
Out across life's storm-tossed wave,
Wrecks the waters dark are strewing,
On them some whom you can save;
Carry quick the cups of comfort,
Pick them up in Jesus' name,
Man the lifeboat! rescue some one,
From the wreck some soul reclaim.
Chorus:
Away! away! God's Spirit speed you,
Rescue some poor soul today!
Away, away! God's Spirit lead you,
To the rescue, speed away!
