39. 'Tis a Grand Work, Winning Souls

1 ‘Tis a good work, grand work, this of winning souls;
Oh, the tide of joy like a river rolls,
And the peace of God the trusting heart controls,
Winning precious souls for Jesus.

Chorus:
‘Tis a grand work, winning souls!
‘Tis a glorious work, winning souls!
Heaven’s bliss is nearer and the Savior dearer,
‘Tis a grand work, winning souls.

2 OH, ‘tis sweet to live so near the Master’s side,
All the pow’r we need from his grace supplied,
Leading weary wand’rers to the Crucified,
Winning precious souls for Jesus. [Chorus]

3 We can throw a light across a darkened way,
A bright sunny gleam from the Land of Day,
We can show his love in all we do and say,
Winning precious souls for Jesus. [Chorus]

4 Let us work away until the evenfall,
Till the starry hour when the angels call;
Then a crown of life beyond the jasper wall,—
Glory evermore to Jesus. [Chorus]
