Souls are perishing before thee;
Save, save one!
It may be thy crown of glory;
Save, save one!
From the waves that o’er thee tower;
From the raging lion’s power,
From destruction’s fiery shower,
Save, save one!
Who the worth of souls can measure?
Save, save one!
Who can count the priceless treasure?
Save, save one!
Like the stars, shall shine forever
Those who faithfully endeavor
Dying sinners to deliver;
Save, save one!
