150. Winning Precious Souls

1 Winning precious souls for Jesus,
Blessed privilege and joy!
Sharing in the Master's mission,
Let us ev'ry power employ.
Seeking, in our conscious weakness,
Strength and guidance, day by day.
He will give the needed wisdom,
Teach us what to do and say.

Chorus:
Winning precious souls, winning precious souls for Jesus,
Winning precious souls, winning precious souls for Jesus,
Stars to sparkle for his glory,
Jewels that will shine on high;
Stars to sparkle for his glory,
When he crowns us in his kingdom, by and by.

2 Winning precious souls for Jesus,
Let us labor at his side;
He will make his people fruitful,
When they in his love abide.
Let us follow as he leads us,
Ready for the moment's call,
By the wayside, as we journey,
Let the seeds of blessing fall. [Chorus]

3 Winning precious souls for Jesus,
Cultivate the gospel art;
Using ev'ry right endeavor,
With a patient, loving heart;
Be it ours to bring the Master
Jewels that will shine on high,
Stars to sparkle for his glory,
When he crowns us, by and by. [Chorus]
