Drifting away from the Sav­ior,
Drifting to lands un­known,
Drifting away by night and by day,
Drifting, yes, drift­ing alone.

Refrain

Drifting away from the Sav­ior,
Drifting away from His love,
While the Sav­ior is ten­der­ly call­ing,
You are drift­ing away from God.

Drifting away from the Sav­ior,
He who would bear your load;
Drifting away by night and by day,
Drifting, yes, drift­ing from God.

Refrain

Drifting away from the Sav­ior,
Fearlessly on you go;
Drifting away by night and by day,
Drifting to re­gions of woe.

Refrain

Drifting away from the Sav­ior,
Even the an­gels weep;
Still you drift on with mirth and with song,
Out on the fa­thom­less deep.

Refrain
