The Heavenly Voice

List to the Gos­pel re­sound­ing

Beautiful mes­sage of love;

Jesus

in mer­cy ab­ound­ing

Calleth for you from above.

List to the heav­en­ly voice

Tenderly urg­ing your choice;

Yield to the love of your Sav­ior

Listen

be­lieve and re­joice.

Why not

O why not

re­pent­ing

Turn from your pe­ril­ous course

Ending in woe un­re­lent­ing

Anguish

dis­grace and re­morse?

Life

like the dew of the morn­ing

Vanisheth quick­ly away;

Death bring­eth sor­row and mourn­ing

Wailing for­ev­er and aye.

Touched by the Spir­it so ten­der

Calling as ev­er be­fore

Willingly

free­ly sur­ren­der

Open

yes

op­en your door.
