1 We have found a blest employ,
Work that brings supremest joy,
Whose deep peace finds no alloy—
Winning souls for the Master.

Refrain:
Winning souls, winning souls,
Bringing them to the blessèd Master!
Winning souls, winning souls,
Winning souls for the Master!

2 What tho’ trials we must face,
What tho’ thorny paths we trace,
God still grants abounding grace—
Winning souls for the Master. [Refrain]

3 For each longing soul to win,
For each pang o’er other sin,
Christ more fully reigns within,
Winning souls for the Master. [Refrain]

4 Gladness here and rapture there
O’er the gathered sheaves so fair,
Which we to the garner bear,
Winning souls for the Master. [Refrain]
