| Text: | A Passion for Souls |
| Author: | Herbert G. Tovey, b. 1888 |
| Tune: | [Give me a passion for souls, dear Lord] |
| Composer: | Foss L. Fellers, 1887-1924 |
1 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.
Refrain:
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 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. (Refrain)
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. (Refrain)
