He that winneth souls is wise.

Take full possession of me, O Lord,
And let Thy love control;
O fill me with an earnest zeal
To win for Thee a soul.
Refrain
Put music, music,
Put music into my heart,
And help me, help me
To win a soul for Thee.
Fill with Thy Spirit my heart, O Lord,
And make me pure and whole;
Live Thou and rule within that I
May win for Thee a soul.
Refrain
Give me the courage and strength, O Lord,
To safely reach the goal,
Where lies my own supreme desire—
To win for Thee a soul.
Refrain
Put music into my heart, O Lord,
And while life’s billows roll,
Thy grace and help to me impart
To win for Thee a soul.
