When Thou saidst,
Psalm 27:8Seek ye My face,
my heart said unto Thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
Words: Fanny Crosby, in Bright Jewels, by Robert Lowry (New York: Biglow & Main, 1869), number 103.
Music: W. Howard Doane (🔊 pdf nwc).
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.
