Alexander's Hymns No. 3 ‎#79

79. Someone Here

1 Somebody here bears a weary load,
Somebody here wanders far from God;
Somebody here seeks in vain for rest,
Somebody here, who may now be blest.

Refrain:
O soul in sin, heed the Voice that calls,
That has called thee oft before!
Repent and believe and be saved tonight,
Lest thou hear that voice no more.

2 Somebody here, who was saved one day,
Faltered and failed, sadly fell away;
Somebody here feels a prompting true,
Now to return and the vows renew. [Refrain]

3 Somebody here now the Spirit grieves,
Heedless of warnings that mercy gives;
Somebody here, for whom Jesus died,
Still may be lost thro’ rebellious pride. [Refrain]

4 Somebody here may delay too long,
Drowning God’s voice with a jest or song;
Choosing the way, tho’ it seemeth right,
Ending at last in eternal night. [Refrain]

6 Somebody here will be first to go,
Either to bliss or to endless woe;
Somebody here, unprepared to die,
Stands on the brink of eternity. [Refrain]
