Content? How can I be,
When all earth's kindred tribes do plea--
That God's perchance in His great plan
Would heed their cry to send a man
That the Saviour they might see.

Content? How can I be,
While Satan gloats and laughs with glee
And ushers countless souls to hell
Many because I did not tell
Christ gives the victory.

Content? How can I say,
I've done my best for Christ today,
When not one soul to Him I've led
Nor to a sinking sinner said,
"Jesus has paid thr way".

Content? How can I be,
When Jesus gave His all for me
Smitten and scorned---was crucified,
Naked and bleeding freely died
To set the sinner free.

Content? One day I'll be
When I at last my Saviour see,
As He in stately splendor stands,
To welcome me with outstretched hands:
"Praise God for Calvary".
