List to the Gos­pel re­sound­ing,
Beautiful mes­sage of love;
Jesus, in mer­cy abound­ing,
Calleth for you from above.

Refrain

List to the hea­ven­ly voice
Tenderly urg­ing your choice;
Yield to the love of your Sav­ior,
Listen, be­lieve and re­joice.

Why not, O why not, re­pent­ing,
Turn from your pe­ril­ous course,
Ending in woe un­re­lent­ing,
Anguish, dis­grace and re­morse?

Refrain

Life, like the dew of the morn­ing,
Vanisheth quick­ly away;
Death bring­eth sor­row and mourn­ing,
Wailing for­ev­er and aye.

Refrain

Touched by the Spir­it so ten­der,
Calling as ev­er be­fore,
Willingly, free­ly sur­ren­der,
Open, yes, op­en your door.

Refrain
