Won’t You Pray?

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1906
Composer: D. Z. Canady

Christian work­ers

hear again

The Mas­ter’s pa­tient call

Go ye forth and la­bor while ’tis day;

Work and sing to­ge­ther

till

The ev­en­ing sha­dows fall

Pray for those who per­ish far away.

Won’t you pray

won’t you pray

For some loved one lost in sin’s dark way?

Won’t you pray

won’t you pray

For some dear one who has gone as­tray.

Christian work­ers

on­ward now

And haste the lost to save

Seek them on the mount­ain wild and cold;

Bring them out of bond­age from

The dark abodes of sin

Lead them to the Shep­herd and the fold.

Christian work­ers

wea­ry not

Your la­bors will be blest

Lift the roy­al stand­ard while you may;

Tell the hea­vy la­den that

In Je­sus there is rest

Bear the Gos­pel tid­ings far away.
