LET ME WIN A SOUL FOR JESUS.
By Mary B. Wingate
Let me win a soul for Jesus!
Win a dear and deathless soul;
I would count it higher honor
Than the grandest earthly goal. Let me win a soul for Jesus!
Souls are of such priceless worth,
I would count it dearer treasure
Than the richest gems of earth. Let me win a soul for Jesus!
Let me point the longing eyes
To the Christ who died for sinners—
To the willing Sacrifice. I would catch the glad hosannas
Sounding from the harps of gold,
When another soul is ransomed,
And another name enrolled. Let me win a soul for Jesus!
"He that winneth souls is wise."
I am longing for the honor
Of a bright, immortal prize. Saviour, draw me nearer, nearer,
Till my soul is all aflame,
Till I long to win them only
For the glory of Thy name.
—Mary B. Wingate.
