Lyrics

There’s a gen­tle voice with­in calls away,
’Tis a warn­ing I have heard o’er and o’er,
But my heart is melt­ed now, I ob­ey;
From my Sav­ior I will wan­der no more.

Refrain

Yes, I will go; yes, I will go;
To Je­sus I will go and be saved;
Yes, I will go; yes, I will go;
To Je­sus I will go and be saved.

He has pro­mised all my sins to for­give,
If I ask in sim­ple faith for His love,
In His ho­ly Word I learn how to live,
And to la­bor for His king­dom above.

Refrain

I will try to bear the cross in my youth,
And be faith­ful in its cause till I die;
If with cheer­ful step I walk in the truth,
I shall wear a star­ry crown by and by.

Refrain

Still the gen­tle voice with­in calls away,
And its warn­ing I have heard o’er and o’er;
But my heart is melt­ed now, I ob­ey:
From my Sav­ior I will wan­der no more.
