The Spirit's Call

Verse 1

Say, sinner, hath a voice within Oft whisper'd to thy secret soul, Urged thee to leave the ways of sin, And yield thy heart to God’s control?

Verse 2

Sinner, it was a heavenly voice— It was the Spirit’s gracious call; It bade thee make the better choice, And haste to seek in Christ thine all.

Verse 3

Spurn not the call to life and light; Regard in time the warning kind; That call thou may'st not always slight, And yet the gate of mercy find.

Verse 4

God’s Spirit will not always strive With harden'd, self-destroying man; Ye, who persist His love to grieve, May never hear His voice again.
