| Text: | Hark! a voice! a heavenly voice |

| Composer: | E. Roberts |
1 Hark! a voice! a heavenly voice,
Floating lightly, lightly by!
"Come to Jesus, and rejoice;
Live with him on high!"
Yes, we come! to Jesus come;
For our Saviour, Saviour dear,
Soon will call us to his home,
Free from every fear.
2 Hark! a voice! a heavenly voice!
Singing sweetly, sweetly now;
"'Tis the hour to make thy choice,
Come! to Jesus bow!"
Jesus' love,--worth more than gold
Dug from out the richest mines,--
Jesus' love, like wealth untold,
Round the heart entwines.
3 Hark! a voice! a heavenly voice!
Hear it! sounding through the land:
"Souls on earth make heaven rejoice,
Who for Jesus stand."
Jesus! take us in thine arms;
Suffer that we come to thee:
With thy blessing, earthly harms,
From our path will flee.
