A Passion for Souls
Words by Herbert G. Tovey
Music by Foss L. Fellers
Proverbs 11:30
"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
and he that winneth souls is wise."
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.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
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.
