15913. The Pleading Voice (The Voice of Love)

1 Weary, wand’ring child of grief,
Hear the Savior’s pleading voice;
If you only come to Him,
He will make your heart rejoice.

Refrain:
O receive Him, O, believe Him;
Christ in mercy bids you come;
He’ll receive you, He’ll relieve you,
And prepare you for His home.

2 Tho’ your soul be foul with sin,
He can make you white as snow;
Do you sigh for peace within?
To the living fountain go. [Refrain]

3 Wand’rer, then, retrace thy course,
Trust thy soul to His dear love,
Now the Savior pleads for thee,
In the courts of Heav’n above. [Refrain]

4 When life’s weary race is run,
And thy conflicts all are past,
Heav’n in view, the vict’ry won,
God will crown you His at last. [Refrain]
