O blessed voice of Jesus, Which comes to hearts oppressed! It tells of benediction, Of pardon, grace, and peace, Of joy that hath no ending, Of love which cannot cease. 2 "Come unto Me, ye wanderers,, And I will give you light." O loving voice of Jesus, Which comes to cheer the night! Our hearts were filled with sadness, And we had lost our way; But He hath brought us gladness And songs, the break of day. 3 "Come unto Me, ye fainting, And I will give you life." O cheering voice of Jesus, Which comes to aid our strife! The foe is stern and eager, The fight is fierce and long; But Thou hast made us mighty And stronger than the strong. 4 "And whosoever cometh I will not cast him out." O welcome voice of Jesus, Which drives away our doubt; Which calls us, very sinners, Unworthy though we be Of love so free and boundless, To come, dear Lord, to Thee! Amen.
