| Dates: |
|  | | 1. A storm gathers dark
o’er the foam crested deep,
And souls on the billows are tossed;
Then forth let us go,
with a message of hope,
Speed on, lest their vessel be lost.
Refrain.
Make haste, make haste,
Make haste to the rescue, away!
Speed on, quickly on,
with a message of hope—
No time for a moment’s delay.
2. No bright beaming star
in the darkness they see,
No bells from the harbor they hear;
Their frail, shattered bark,
still is drifting afar,
Speed on, with a message of cheer.
Refrain.
Make haste, make haste,
Make haste to the rescue, away!
Speed on, quickly on,
with a message of hope—
No time for a moment’s delay.
3. A light softly breaks,
and their peril is o’er;
They hear, and they answer our call;
Our boat hurries on
with the Pilot on board—
In Him is a refuge for all.
Refrain.
Make haste, make haste,
Make haste to the rescue, away!
Speed on, quickly on,
with a message of hope—
No time for a moment’s delay.
