1.苦海汪洋当速抛救生绳，有人今天沉沦你快去救，
他是你同胞何人肯伸手，当速抛救生绳将他命拯救。
2.抛救生绳须要奋勇力行，快速施救为何迟延至今，
看你弟兄姐妹快要沉沦，当速放下救生船冒险前进。
3.抛救生绳快救回将亡人，他遭患难恐怕你所未经，
罪恶引诱犹如狂风巨浪，不久必要把他冲入无底坑。
4.救人机会不久就要过去，若再迟延他将沉沦昏迷，
凡我同胞快去救勿迟延，今不抛救生绳以后无时机。
（副歌）
快抛救生绳，快抛救生绳，有人漂荡在浪中，
快抛救生绳，快抛救生绳，何忍看他受沉沦。
1 Throw out the lifeline across the dark wave!
There is a brother whom someone should save;—
Somebody’s brother! Oh, who then will dare
To throw out the lifeline, his*** peril to share?
Refrain:
Throw out the lifeline! Throw out the lifeline!
Someone is drifting away;
Throw out the lifeline! Throw out the lifeline!
Someone is sinking today.
2 Throw out the lifeline with hand quick and strong-
Why do you tarry, why linger so long?
See! he is sinking! Oh, hasten today,
And out with the lifeboat! away, then, away! [Refrain]
3 Throw out the lifeline to danger-fraught men,
Sinking in anguish where you’ve never been;
Winds of temptation and billows of woe
Will soon hurl them out where the dark waters flow. [Refrain]
4 Soon will the season of rescue be o’er,
Soon will they drift to eternity’s shore;
Haste then, my brother,no time for delay,
But throw out the lifeline and save them today. [Refrain]
