Give Us Tears to Weep for the Unsaved

"He that saved our souls has taught us to weep over the unsaved.  Lord, let that mind be in us that was in You.  Give us your tears to weep; for, Lord, our hearts are hard toward our fellows.  We can see thousands perish around us, and our sleep never be disturbed; no vision of their awful doom ever scaring us, no cry from their lost souls ever turning our peace into bitterness."

Horatius Bonar - Scottish pastor and hymn writer (Not What My Hands Have Done) 1808-1889, this is an excerpt from his book Words to Winners of Souls
