The School Hymnal ‎#131

131. Hark, hark, my soul! thy Father's voice is calling

1. Hark, hark, my soul! thy Father's voice is calling,
E'en now it breathes o'er life's dark troubled sea;
His gracious truth like heav'nly dew is falling;
Hark, hark, my soul! thy Father calls for thee.

Refrain:
Father of mercy, Father of love!
Help us to follow Thee to heav'nly peace above.

2. Hark, hark, my soul! from heaven that voice is pleading,
O listen well, ere evil days draw near;
Still by His love our Father's hand is leading,
From sin and shame, from sorrow, doubt, and fear. [Refrain]

3. Hark, hark, my soul! still, still that voice is sounding,
Like music sweet from some far distant shore,
While angel bands, our daily path surrounding,
Lead God's dear children on for evermore. [Refrain]
