You are drift­ing with the tide,
Onward down the stream you glide,
Drawing near­er to the dan­ger sign;
Sad will be your aw­ful fate
When you find, but then too late,
You have reached the Past Re­demp­tion Line.

Refrain

O the Past Re­demp­tion Line
Is near to some soul,
Tell me, bro­ther, is it yours or mine?
Idle not your time away,
Come to Je­sus while you may,
Ere you cross the Past Re­demp­tion Line.

You are drift­ing from the shore,
Faster now than e’er be­fore,
O you need the Sav­ior’s love di­vine;
As you reach the cur­rent swift,
Faster still your boat will drift,
Nearer to the Past Re­demp­tion Line.

Refrain

You are drift­ing far­ther on
Where no day will ev­er dawn,
And the light of hope will nev­er shine;
To the dark­ness of des­pair
That awaits you ov­er there,
When you cross the Past Re­demp­tion Line.

Refrain
