Blessed 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,
O the wondrous prize!
He that winneth souls is wise.

In the quiet homelife, showing love's bright ray,
More and more like Jesus living ev'ry day,
We may guide a dear one to the heav'nward way:
He that winneth souls is wise.

Out upon the highway, going forth with prayer,
For the lost and straying seeking ev'rywhere,
Close beside the Shepherd, we His joy may share:
He that winneth souls is wise.

Sow beside all waters, sow the gospel seed,
Here a word in season, there a loving deed;
Sinners to the Saviour be it ours to lead:
He that winneth souls is wise.
