Lyrics

Out in the breakers are perishing souls,
Save one, save one;
Out where the current of sin madly rolls,
Save one, save one.

Refrain

Pity the perishing, labor and pray;
Hasten to rescue them, save one today;
Then in your heart will be Heaven begun,
Save one, save one.

Out in the darkness of sin’s awful night,
Save one, save one;
Tell them of Jesus, and lead to the light,
Save one, save one.

Refrain

Out on the mountain so sadly astray,
Save one, save one;
From the sweet home land so far, far away,
Save one, save one.

Refrain

Loved ones or strangers, whoe’er they may be,
Save one, save one;
Go in His Spirit who saves you and me,
Save one, save one.
