The Gentle Voice

List to the Sav­ior’s plead­ing call

Hark

how its ac­cents so soft­ly fall

Filled with a ten­der yearn­ing love;

“Enter the path that leads ab­ove.

Come to Me

come to Me

Child of My ten­der love to be;

Come to Me

come to Me

Come

for My love hath ran­somed thee!”

Hark

’tis the still

small voice again

Louder it speaks to the sons of men

Calling to all

ere cares in­crease:

“Enter the plea­sant paths of peace.

Speaks this sweet voice to ev­ery heart;

Heed its blest call

or it may de­part!

Care

with its voic­es loud

will come

Hiding the call from the saints’ bright home.
