16056. He That Winneth Souls Is Wise

1 Go out on the streets and the high­ways,
Go out with the mes­sage of love;
Go tell in the cor­ners and by­ways
Of Je­sus, the Friend from above.

Refrain:
For he that is wise, he that is wise,
For he that is wise win­neth souls.

2 Go forth in the strength of the Mas­ter—
Fear no­thing, for He is your guide;
Go res­cue their souls from dis­as­ter,
The Sav­ior will stand by your side. [Refrain]

3 Go out, and from bond­age de­liv­er;
Go free them from strug­gle and strife,
And tell them that Christ, the Life­giv­er,
Is able to give them new life. [Refrain]

4 Go out and pro­claim it with glad­ness,
The sto­ry that ev­er is new,
That Je­sus from sor­row and sad­ness
Can save and re­ceive ev­en you. [Refrain]
