O God, the world is lost in sin
And so few that seem to care
Many of whom profess Thy name
No burden will help to bear
We need a passion, Lord, for souls
To bring the lost back to Thee
Our hearts must be stirred
Till all have heard
At least once of Calvary
How cold has been our giving, Lord
How selfish our love has been
Keeping from those who never heard
The gospel that saves from sin
How often we have turned aside
Neglecting to do our part
Forgetting Thy tears and agony
Forgetting Thy bleeding heart
O God, with shame I humbly bow
In tears and with contrite heart
Forgive me for the broken vows
And failure to do my part
I heed Thy call and say, “Farewell”
To all that would hinder me
Thy grace and Thy love to lost ones tell
And my life burn out for Thee
Let me burn out for Thee, dear Lord
Burn and wear out for Thee
Don’t let me rust, or my life
Be a failure, my God to Thee
Use me and all I have, dear Lord
And get me so close to Thee
That I feel the throb
Of the great heart of God
Until I burn out for Thee
