Think not ‘tis only one, Count not your harvest scanty; Grieve not at set of sun; Think of the joy in heaven! Think what that one soul cost! Think of the endless sorrow If that one soul were lost. Refrain: Hark! hark! angelic hosts are singing A song of joy untold; One soul redeemed! one life reclaimed! One more new name enrolled. 2 Ye who would be soul winners, Gather them one by one, Heart to heart work is needed, Do as your Lord hath done; Think of that weary journey Under a noontide sun; Think how your Master labored, Seeking to save just one. [Refrain] 3 Only one soul for Jesus! Think what one voice may say, Leading perhaps a hundred Into the better way! Think of the deeds of mercy One redeemed life may do; Think of the songs in heaven! You should be singing, too! [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Only one soul for Jesus]
