8435. Song Of The Soul Winner

1 Take full possession of me, O Lord,
And let Thy love control;
O fill me with an earnest zeal
To win for Thee a soul.

Refrain:
Put music, music,
Put music into my heart,
And help me, help me
To win a soul for Thee.

2 Fill with Thy Spirit my heart, O Lord,
And make me pure and whole;
Live Thou and rule within that I
May win for Thee a soul. [Refrain]

3 Give me the courage and strength, O Lord,
To safely reach the goal,
Where lies my own supreme desire—
To win for Thee a soul. [Refrain]

4 Put music into my heart, O Lord,
And while life’s billows roll,
Thy grace and help to me impart
To win for Thee a soul. [Refrain]
