1. 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
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
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

2. How shall this passion for souls be mine?
Lord, make, Thou the answer clear;
Help me to throw out the 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
