Precious Hymns for Times of Refreshing and Revival ‎#42

42. Yes, I Will Go

1 There’s a voice in my heart, and I hear it today;
But why do I linger? what keeps me away?
‘Tis Jesus my Saviour, I must not delay,
Gently he calls, I will go to him now.

Refrain:
Yes, I will go, yes, I will go,
Lovingly, joyfully go to him now;
Jesus is near, and I know he will hear,
If I trustingly go to him now.

2 There’s a voice in my heart, and it whispers to me
That, if I will trust him, my friend he will be;
The print of the nails in his hands I can see;
Gently he calls, I will go to him now. [Refrain]

3 There’s a voice in my heart, and how gentle its tone,—
He waits to receive me and make me his own;
My soul must be saved thro’ his merits alone;
Gently he calls, I will go to him now. [Refrain]

4 Oh, that voice in my heart I will hear and obey,
I will not reject him, I will not delay;
To him, my Redeemer, I hasten today,—
Gently he calls, I will go to him now. [Refrain]
