1 Oft have I heard thy tender voice Which calls, dear Lord, to me, And asks a quick yet lasting choice ‘Twixt worldly joys and thee; It stirs my heart’s deep fountain springs, And breaks the barriers down; It bids me rise on faith’s strong wings, And cries: No cross, no crown! 2 And yet, alas! a storm-tossed sea Of care and doubt and fear Still parts me, Saviour Lord, from thee, Although thou art so near. O speak again and bid me come, From every fear set free, In spite of self and sin and storm, Upon the waves to thee. 3 O Lord, I dare to trust in thee, Who maketh all things new, My sins to slay, my tears to stay, My sorrows to subdue; And in the battle’s blazing heat, When flesh and blood would quail, I’ll fight and trust, and still repeat That Jesus cannot fail. | The Song Book of the Salvation Army #749 (1986) |
