Out of Christ, with­out a Sav­ior,
Oh, can it, can it be?
Like a ship with­out a rud­der,
On a wild and stor­my sea.

Refrain

Oh, to be with­out a Sav­ior,
With no hope or re­fuge nigh!
Can it be, O bless­èd Sav­ior,
One with­out Thee dare to die?

Out of Christ, with­out a Sav­ior,
Lonely and dark the way,
With no light, no hope in Je­sus,
Making bright the cheer­less day.

Refrain

Out of Christ, with­out a Sav­ior,
No help or re­fuge nigh,
How can you, O friend and bro­ther,
Dare to live or dare to die?

Refrain
