| Composer: | George H. Spring |
1 I seem to hear a voice within,
A friendly voice in accents low,
Which warns me that the ways of sin,
Lead down to endless death and woe.
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]
