He that winneth souls is wise.
Proverbs 11:30
Words & Music: Charles H. Forsythe, 1920 (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know where to get a good photo of Forsythe (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
If you would work for the Master today,
Win the one next to you;
If you would show some poor wand’rer the way
Oh, win the one next to you.
Refrain
Win the one next to you
Win the one next to you;
Tell him of Jesus, the mighty to save,
And win the one next to you.
Have you looked over the great harvest field,
Seeking for work to do?
Hasten, go forth, reap the golden yield,
And win the one next to you.
Refrain
Close to your door may be someone in sin,
Tell him the story true.
Of Him Who died that poor soul to win,
Oh, win the one next to you.
Refrain
You may not go to a far heathen land,
Or to a country new;
But in your home for the Master stand,
And win the one next to you.
Refrain
