1048. TAKE ME IN YOUR LIFEBOAT,

---

CHORUS

Take me in your lifeboat,
oh, take me in your lifeboat,
It will stand the raging storm.
Take me in your lifeboat,
oh, take me in your lifeboat,
It will bear my spirit home.

Now, come brothers and sisters
and don't fall asleep.
We'll pray night and day
or you'll sink in the deep.
Fathers and mothers
they're praying' so loud,
Saying, Lord won't you
take me in your lifeboat.

The clouds are so heavy
the winds are so loud.
The thunder are rollin'
and burstin' in the clouds.
They pray to their shipmates
for what they have done.
They took the dyin' sinner
in their lifeboat.
