Scripture Verse

If thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezekiel 33:8–9

Lyrics

Would you care if some friend
You have met day by day
Should never be told about Jesus?
Are you willing that he
In the judgment should say:
No one ever told me of Jesus.

Refrain

Nobody told me of Jesus;
Nobody told me of Jesus;
So many I met—
But they seemed to forget
That I wanted the story of Jesus.

Care you not if one soul
Of the children of men
Should never be brought unto Jesus?
Or could say in that day
When He cometh again,
No one ever told me of Jesus.

Refrain

Would you care if your crown
Should be starlessly dim,
Because you led no one to Jesus?
Make it true that some heart
Shall not answer to Him:
No one ever told me of Jesus.

Refrain

Oh, be silent no longer!
But carry the news,
And tell of the crucified Jesus!
Tell it! Tell it so earnestly
None can refuse
To accept this wonderful Jesus.

Refrain
