Lyrics

Out in the dark­ness of sin there are souls
Wandering in woe and in sad­ness;
Will you not hast­en to tell them of Christ,
Turning their grief in­to glad­ness.

Refrain

Win one! win one!
Back in­to the nar­row way;
Jesus will help you the lost ones to find,
Win some­one for Him today.

Many have wan­dered afar from the fold,
Long has the good Shep­herd sought them;
Go with the sto­ry of Christ’s sac­ri­fice,
Who with His pre­cious blood bought them.

Refrain

Tell them the pro­mise that Je­sus has made,
Sin crim­son shall be for­giv­en;
Carry the mes­sage, ere it is too late,
Win them for Christ and for Hea­ven.
