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.
