Lyrics

If you would work for the Mas­ter to­day,
Win the one next to you;
If you would show some poor wan­d’rer the way
Oh, win the one next to you.

Refrain

Win the one next to you
Win the one next to you;
Tell him of Je­sus, the migh­ty to save,
And win the one next to you.

Have you looked ov­er the great har­vest field,
Seeking for work to do?
Hasten, go forth, reap the gold­en yield,
And win the one next to you.

Refrain

Close to your door may be some­one in sin,
Tell him the sto­ry true.
Of Him Who died that poor soul to win,
Oh, win the one next to you.

Refrain

You may not go to a far hea­then land,
Or to a coun­try new;
But in your home for the Mas­ter stand,
And win the one next to you.
