11802. The Still Small Voice

1 Do you feel a strange longing within your soul today?
Would you find the straight and narrow way?
Does a voice seem to whisper, "My son, give Me thy heart"?
Then the time has come for choosing the better part.

Refrain:
’Tis the still small voice of the Savior calling,
Calling, calling, calling, "Come to Me";
Many years, Lord, I’ve heard Thee, I will no more delay;
Thou shalt call in vain no longer, I now obey.

2 It would profit you nothing, tho’ all the world you gain,
If in selfish sin you still remain;
All its pomp and its glory, your soul can never save;
It will vanish at the portals, the silent grave. [Refrain]

3 Are you weak, heavy laden, by sin and woe oppressed?
Hear Him say, "Come unto Me and rest";
Come, oh, come to the Savior, you will not be denied,
If you bring as plea for pardon the Crucified. [Refrain]
