Lyrics

Souls are dy­ing now, lost in sin and woe,
And the la­bor­ers still are few;
Into all the world Je­sus bids us go,
There is work for me to do.

Refrain

I must bring the wan­der­ers in,
Savior, strength­en me anew,
I must bring the wan­der­ers in,
There is work for me to do.

While the bonds of sin shall un­brok­en be,
And each pit­fall far from view,
And while ach­ing hearts should be glad and free,
There is work for me to do.

Refrain

With the love of God in my heart to­day,
I will give His mes­sage true;
Point the lost of earth to the liv­ing way,
There is work for me to do.
