Saul’s Journey to Damascus

When the peo­ple of God were wor­ship­ing

In Da­mas­cus not far o’er the way

From the blood­thirs­ty throng at Je­ru­sa­lem

Journeyed Saul to bring them away.

As he jour­neyed he heard a voice say

Saul

oh

Saul

why per­se­cut­est Me?

I am the Lord of Heav’n and earth

I am Je­sus

who died on the tree.

Then he said

Who art Thou

Lord

I pray

And what wilt Thou now have me to do?

And the Lord said to him

Arise

I say

’Twill be told thee what thou must do.

Then straight way did the chief of sin­ners go

To re­ceive God’s own word thro’ His Son;

Blessèd word which is life to the sin-sick soul

From the cross to the bright gold­en crown.

Guilty sin­ner

the Lord is call­ing thee;

Will you hear while the voice still doth cry?

Will you take His sal­va­tion so great and free

While eter­ni­ty’s draw­ing so nigh?

Will you hear while the voice is call­ing now

Oh

sin­ners

oh

wilt thou come to Me?

I am thy light and sav­ing pow­er

I am Je­sus

who died on the tree.
