Lyrics

Hark! there comes a whisper
Stealing on thine ear:
’Tis the Sav­ior calling,
Soft, soft and clear.

Refrain

Give thy heart to Me,
Once I died for thee
;
Hark! Hark! thy Sav­ior calls:
Come, sinner, come!

With that voice so gentle,
Dost thou hear Him say?
Tell Me all thy sorrows;
Come, come away!

Refrain

Wouldst thou find a refuge
For thy soul oppressed?
Jesus kindly answers,
I am thy rest.

Refrain

At the cross of Je­sus,
Let thy bur­den fall;
While He gently whispers,
I’ll bear it all.
