11411. He That Winneth Souls

1 Blessèd is the service of our Lord and king,
Precious are the jewels we may help to bring;
Down the passing ages words of counsel ring,
He that winneth souls is wise.

Refrain:
He that winneth souls is wise;
In the home beyond the skies,
There’s a crown of glory, oh, the wondrous prize!
He that winneth souls is wise.

2 In the quiet home life, showing love’s bright ray,
More and more like Jesus, living every day,
We may guide a dear one to the heav’nward way,
He that winneth souls is wise. [Refrain]

3 Out upon the highway, going forth with prayer,
For the lost and straying, seeking everywhere,
Close beside the Shepherd, we His joy may share,
He that winneth souls is wise. [Refrain]

4 Sow beside all waters, sow the Gospel seed,
Here a word in season, there a loving deed;
Sinners to the Savior, be it ours to lead,
He that winneth souls is wise. [Refrain]
