The Past Redemption Line

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.

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.

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.
