1 Drifting away from the Saviour, Casting reproach on the Lord; Drifting away from Him temple, Heeding no longer His word. Chorus: Drifting away, Drifting away, Drifting away from the Saviour, Drifting, still drifting away. 2 Drifting away from the Saviour, Slighting and grieving His love; Drifting away from the mansions He is preparing above. [Chorus] 3 Drifting away from the Saviour, Lonely and helpless thou art; Drifting away from His people, Ever so dear to His heart. [Chorus] 4 Drifting away from the Saviour, He who has shown you the way;—- Drifting away from His teaching, Farther and farther each day. [Chorus] 5 Drifting away from the Saviour, Still He is mindful of thee: Come unto Him and, believing, Pardoned thro’ grace thou shalt be. [Chorus]
