230. A Voice from Heaven

1 A voice from heav’n, a gentle voice,
Above life’s din, sounds sweet and clear,
And tenderly “Come unto Me,”
Greets softly now my list’ning ear.

Refrain:
A voice from heav’n, so sweetly calls,
It echoes o’er times troubled sea;
I, list’ning, hear these words of cheer,
These tender words come unto me.

2 Tho’ hedg’d my way, with many a thorn,
And rugged oft the path I go,
I shall go home, some golden morn,
And heaven’s joys I then shall known. [Refrain]

3 I trust my all, to Him I love,
I know in whom I have believed,
For I am His, and He is mine,
His word of truth I have received. [Refrain]

4 And when at last His voice shall call,
“Come home,” with joy the word I’ll greet,
And home to realms of peace and love,
I’ll cast my crown at Jesus’ feet. [Refrain]
