The Voice of God is Calling

Author: John Haynes Holmes Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1. The voice of God is calling its summons in our day; Isaiah heard in Zion, and we now hear God say: "Whom shall I send to succor my people in their need? Whom shall I send to loosen the bonds of shame and greed? 2. "I hear my people crying in slum and mine and mill; no field or mart is silent, no city street is still. I see my people falling in darkness and despair. Whom shall I send to shatter the fetters which they bear?" 3. We heed, O Lord, your summons, and answer: Here are we! Send us upon your errand, let us your servants be. Our strength is dust and ashes, our years a passing hour; but you can use our weakness to magnify your power. 4. From ease and plenty save us; from pride of place absolve; purge us of low desire; lift us to high resolve; take us, and make us holy; teach us your will and way. Speak, and behold! we answer; command, and we obey! Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD

Let the road be rough and dreary, and its end far out of sight; foot it bravely; strong or weary, trust in God, trust in God, trust in God, and do the right. 2 Perish policy and cunning, perish all that fears the light! Whether losing, whether winning, trust in God, and do the right. Some will hate you, some will love you, some will flatter, some will slight; heed them not, and look above you: trust in God, trust in God, trust in God, and do the right. 3 Simple rule and safest guiding, inward peace, and inward might, star upon our path abiding, trust in God, and do the right. Courage, sister! do not stumble, though your path be dark as night; there's a star to guide the humble: trust in God, trust in God, trust in God, and do the right.

Optional stanza from Psalm 23: Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me, and in God's house forevermore my dwelling place shall be; and in God's house forevermore my dwelling place shall be.
