O Brother, Don't Harden Thy Heart

Representative Text

1 Today if the Savior should call thee,
His blessing and pardon impart,
If the voice of the Master should woo thee,
Oh, brother, don’t harden thy heart.

Refrain:
Oh, brother, don’t harden thy heart;
Oh, brother, don’t harden thy heart;
Today if thou hearest His voice,
Oh, brother, don’t harden thy heart.

2 Is the Spirit now striving within thee?
Dost thou hear His sweet voice soft and low?
His promise of pardon to give thee,
And all of His blessings bestow? [Refrain]

3 When thou shalt accept His salvation,
Then peace like a river will flow;
Thy life will be happy and blessed,
Thy heart will be soft as the snow. [Refrain]
