Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr. (1856-1922) Hymnal: Lift Every Voice and Sing II #159 (1993) First Line: How to reach the masses, those of ev’ry birth Refrain First Line: Lift the precious savior up Lyrics: 1 How to reach the masses, those of ev’ry birth,
For an answer Jesus gave the key;
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
Will draw all men unto Me.”
Refrain:
Lift the precious savior up,
Lift the precious savior up,
Still He speaks from eternity:
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
Will draw all men unto Me.”
2 Oh! the world is hungry for the living bread,
Lift the Savior up for them to see;
Trust Him and do not doubt the words that He said,
“I’ll draw all men unto Me.” [Refrain]
3 Don’t exalt the preacher, don’t exalt the pew,
Preach the gospel simple, full and free;
Prove Him and you will find that promise is true,
“I’ll draw all men unto Me.” [Refrain]
4 Lift Him up by living as a Christian ought,
Let the world in you the Savior see;
Then all will gladly follow Him who once taught,
“I’ll draw all men unto Me.” [Refrain] Topics: Hymns and Songs Evangelism Languages: English Tune Title: [How to reach the masses, those of ev’ry birth]
