Give me a passion for souls, dear Lord,
A passion to save the lost;
O that Thy love were by all adored,
Nor suffer thee to live in vain.

Refrain

Jesus, I long, 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.

Refrain

How shall this passion for souls be mine?
Lord, make Thou the answer clear;
Help me to throw out the old Life-line
To those who are struggling near.

Refrain

主啊，賜我救靈的熱誠，
救失喪者的熱誠；
噢！願人都愛慕你慈愛，
不計代價來接受。

副歌

主，我渴望，渴望得人靈魂，
那些失喪，常常犯罪的人，
噢！讓這刻成為一新開始，
罪得赦免蒙恩故事。

雖有未知、嚴峻的危險，
攔阻我不能前行；
我仍決心向前不轉回，
天天靠賴主恩行。

副歌

我怎可有救靈的熱誠，
求主清楚指示我；
助我拋出古舊救生繩，
給相近掙扎的人。
