Chorus: Yes, 'tis the voice of love divine, Which utters thus a warning kind. Which whispers to this heart of mine, Seek now if mercy you would find, 2 Though all around seems bright and fair, Yet deadly evil works within, And if you still retain it there, You'll surely perish in your sin. [Chorus] 3 Life's opening morn may smile to-day, To-morrow gloomy death may call, Yet now thy Maker's voice obey, Then shall death's summons ne'er appal. [Chorus] 4 Yes, go to Jesus, who was slain, To ransom guilty ones from woe, His blood can cleanse sin's every stain, His friendships endless bliss bestow. [Chorus] 5 Seek while thy Father waits to bless, Seek while the Saviour will forgive. Seek while the Spirit rich in grace, Will help thee turn to God and live. [Chorus] 6 Now in thy youth thy God will hear, Yet if thou now his mercy spurn, He may at length reject thy prayer, And leave thee hopelessly to mourn. [Chorus] Tune Title: [I seem to hear a voice within]

Death of a sabbath school scholar

Author: Fanny Church Hymnal: LSSS1870 #124 (1870) First Line: From our number one has gone Lyrics: 1 From our number one has gone Out into the world unknown. Saviour, be thou, ever near, To the one to us so dear. Guard her tenderly. 2 With the swiftly falling tear, Gather slowly round the bier, Lay white roses on the brow Cold in death, like marble now, Eyes closed mournfully. 3 Folded are the childish hands; Life no more of them demands. Love's last words have all been said, Lay her down among the dead, Sleeping peacefully. 4 To the pleasant far off shore, Of the sweet Forevermore, Christ has called our loved one home, And he bids us likewise come, Meet her joyfully. Tune Title: [From our number one has gone]
