Why Not Be a Helper?

Author: J. W. H. Hymnal: Hymns of the Kingdom #56 (1905) First Line: There's many a soul will perish Refrain First Line: Then why not be a helper Lyrics: 1 There’s many a soul will perish, For want of friendly aid, Whom Jesus has died to ransom; Their full redemption paid! Refrain: Then why not be a helper, Some precious soul to win? Then why not be a helper, To bring the lost ones in? 2 The Master hath need of helpers, He calls for you today; Then answer the summons gladly, Thy service He’ll repay. [Refrain] 3 Then rescue a soul for Jesus, If only one soul it be; ‘Twill bring thee a hallowed pleasure Through all eternity! [Refrain] 4 If only a cup of water Be given in Jesus’ name To one who is faint and weary, It shall not be in vain. [Refrain] 5 Remember, the greatest valor Not only claims renown, But lowliest deeds of kindness Will gem thy glory crown! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There's many a soul will perish]
