Representative Text

1 I hear a loving voice
That calls me o’er and o’er,
That bids me lay my burden down,
And rest for evermore.
I hear a loving voice,—
‘Tis Thine, O Lamb of God,
Who from the cradle to the cross
The path of sorrow trod.

2 I hear Thy warning voice;
O let me not delay;
I must be saved by Thee alone,
There is no other way;
Thy word my only plea,
I come without a fear;
I seek Thee while Thou cans’t be found,
And call while Thou art near.

3 O, patient, loving voice!
O firm, abiding Friend,
I now accept Thy offer’d grace:
Lord, keep me to the end.
My soul with rapture filled,
Thy wonders shall proclaim;
My tongue shall sing Thy righteousness,
My life confess Thy name.
