Hear Him Pleading

lyricist: Newton Allphin, 1918
Composer: John Woolard

Weary soul

bowed down in sor­row

Turn to Christ

the Lord

to­day;

Say not in thine heart

to­mor­row

But be­lieve now while you may.

Hear Him plead­ing

gent­ly plead­ing

Come to Him with­out de­lay;

For your soul He’s in­ter­ced­ing;

Come

His bless­èd Word ob­ey.

With the Sav­ior’s pro­mised bless­ing

Wealth of earth can not com­pare;

Come at once

His name con­fess­ing

That His glo­ry you may share.

He will give you life eter­nal

Pleasures too

that ne’er de­cay

In a land of joy su­per­nal

If you will His Word ob­ey.

Cease your wan­der­ing

now so drea­ry

Seek for sweet and peace­ful rest;

Hungry

thirs­ty

or awea­ry

Come and be for­ev­er blest.
