The Value of One Soul
Poem★★★★The value of one soul, O Lord,
Teach me to see; and as Thy Word
Assures me of the awful fate
Which doth the Christless soul awaits,
O may I wrestle and prevail
Give me Thy tenderness and tact,
Guide every thought, and word, and act,
And cause me so to do my part
To reach the hard or longing heart,
That men to Thee, O Christ, may turn
More of Thy tenderness to learn.
