There’s a bro­ther sink­ing down tod­ay;
Will you lend to him a help­ing hand?
He is drift­ing, drift­ing far away,
And his feet are on the sink­ing sand.

Refrain

Sinking down, sink­ing down,
There’s a bro­ther sink­ing down to­day;
Sinking down, sink­ing down,
There’s a bro­ther drift­ing far away.

Many souls are sink­ing down to­day
That have ne­ver heard a Chris­tian pray;
Can you speak to them a word of cheer,
To bring com­fort to the sin­ner’s ear?

Refrain

There are brok­en hearts so sad to­night,
That are lost from Je­sus and the light;
They are drift­ing far away from shore
Where they will be lost for ev­er­more.

Refrain
