25. Care for the Desolate

1 Care for the desolate,
Homeless and cold,
Out in a wilderness,
Far from the fold.

Refrain:
Hark! ‘tis the Master calls,
Hear and obey:
Care for the perishing,—
Seek them today.

2 Go to them lovingly,
Go in his name;
Oh, what a blessed work,
Souls to reclaim! [Refrain]

3 Plead with them patiently, —
Faith cannot fail;
Pray for them earnestly,—
Prayer will prevail. [Refrain]

4 Leave not the work undone,—
Toil with your might;
“Rest after labor comes,
Morn after night.” [Refrain]
