Our Savior’s Voice Is Soft and Sweet

Our Sav­ior’s voice is soft and sweet

When

bend­ing from above

He bids us ga­ther round His feet

And calls us by His love.

But while our thank­ful hearts re­joice

That thus He bids us come

Je­sus! we cry with plead­ing voice

Bring hea­then wan­d’rers home.

They nev­er heard the Sav­ior’s name

They have not learned His way;

They do not know His grace who came

To take their sins away.

Dear Sav­ior

let the joy­ful sound

In dis­tant lands be heard;

And

oh! wher­ev­er sin is found

Send forth Thy par­don­ing Word.

And if our lips may breathe a pray­er

Though raised in trem­bling fear

Oh! let Thy grace our hearts pre­pare

And choose some her­alds here.
