Lyrics

Have you yet sought a soul to win,
Out of the paths of death and sin—
Living each day in Je­sus’ will,
Earnestly warn­ing friends of ill.

Refrain

Will thy soul blame­less be—
None lost point­ing to thee?

Have you to loved ones prov­en true?
Could they in judg­ment point to you?
Haste, then, for night may soon come on,
Finding your dear ones ev­er gone.

Refrain

Are you im­prov­ing ev­ery day,
Telling to sin­ners Je­sus’ way—
Just by an act, a word, a smile,
Showing out Je­sus all the while?

Refrain

Do you for­get the love of Christ,
How that for thee He sac­ri­ficed?
Go now, I pray thee, be for Him
Messengers tire­less, souls to win.
