81. A Passion for Souls

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.

2.

Tho' 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.

3.

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.
