Earth’s Ten Thousand Voices

Earth’s ten thou­sand voic­es

Daily rise and fall;

But there’s one with­in me

Clearer than them all.

’Tis the voice of Je­sus;

And I do not know

When its tones first sound­ed

’Tis so long ago.

As the days of child­hood

Happily have sped

Oft the voice has thrilled me:

Follow Me! it said.

Either in the ac­cents

Of au­tho­ri­ty

Or of love sore wound­ed

As from Cal­va­ry.

Speak

Thy serv­ant hear­eth;

Speak what­e’er Thou wilt;

Let me know Thy mer­cy;

Let me know my guilt.

Conquer my per­verse­ness;

Cure me of de­lay;

Save me

Lord and Sav­ior

Save—this ve­ry day.
