Drifting away from the Sav­ior,
Casting re­proach on the Lord;
Drifting away from His tem­ple,
Heeding no long­er His word.

Refrain

Drifting away, drift­ing away,
Drifting away from the Sav­ior,
Drifting, still drift­ing away.

Drifting away from the Sav­ior,
Slighting and griev­ing His love;
Drifting away from the man­sions,
He is pre­par­ing ab­ove.

Refrain

Drifting away from the Sav­ior,
He who has showed you the way;
Drifting away from His teach­ing,
Farther and far­ther each day.

Refrain

Drifting away from the Sav­ior,
Still He is mind­ful of thee.
Come un­to Him and be­liev­ing,
Pardoned thro’ grace thou shalt be.
