Say, sinner, hath a voice within
Oft whispered to thy secret soul,
Urged thee to leave the ways of sin,
And yield thy heart to God’s controul?
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.
Hath something met thee in thy path
Of worldliness and vanity,
And pointed to the coming wrath,
And warned thee from that wrath to flee?
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.
God’s Spirit will not always strive
With hardened, self-destroying man;
Ye who persist His love to grieve,
May never hear His voice again.
Sinner, perhaps, this very day
Thy latest call from God may be;
And should’st thou hardened turn away,
Then hope may never beam on thee.
