Give me a passion
for souls, dear Lord,
A passion to save the lost;
O that Thy love were by all adored,
And welcomed at any cost.
Jesus, I long, I long to be winning
Men who are lost,
and constantly sinning;
O may this hour
be one of beginning
The story of pardon to tell.
Though there are dangers
untold and stern
Confronting me in the way,
Willingly still would I go, nor turn,
But trust Thee for grace each day.
Jesus, I long, I long to be winning
Men who are lost,
and constantly sinning;
O may this hour
be one of beginning
The story of pardon to tell.
How shall this passion
for souls be mine?
Lord, make Thou the answer clear;
Help me to throw out the old life line
To those who are struggling near.
Jesus, I long, I long to be winning
Men who are lost,
and constantly sinning;
O may this hour
be one of beginning
The story of pardon to tell.
