He who wins souls is wise.
Proverbs 11:30

Words & Music: Philip Phillips, in Sunshine, edited by Charles H. Gabriel (Chicago, Illinois: Meyer & Brother, 1895), number 3 (🔊 pdf nwc).
We come together here, once more,
To sing and speak and pray;
None should be idle in God’s house
On this His holy day.
Refrain
We are passing onward,
To our Father’s dwelling;
Onward, forward to the better land!
When we cross the river
We shall dwell forever
In the land of paradise at God’s right hand.
Oh, how delightful here to meet,
A cheerful, happy throng,
To learn of wisdom from God’s word,
And join in gladsome song.
Refrain
This is a work we love so well,
Sinners to win—our call,
For Jesus died to save the lost,
And grace is free for all.
Refrain
Soon will our labors have an end
And we’ll be called to go,
To be with Christ, and all the good,
Where living waters flow.
