David Peterson a passion for souls

Select language to translate this lyric

Give me a passion for souls, dear Lord
A passion to save the lost
O that thy love were by all adored,
And welcome at any cost.
Jesus, I long to be winning
Men who are lost, and constantly sinning;
O may this hour be one of beginning
The story of pardon to tell.
Though there are dangers untold and stern
Confronting me in the way,
Willingly still would I go, nor turn,
But trust thee for grace each day,
Repeat chor:
How shall this passion for souls be mine?
Lord, make Thou the answer clear;
Help me to throw out the old lifeline
To those who are struggling near.
Repeat chor:
