I Hear A Voice That Comes From Far;
From Calvary It Sounds Abroad;
It Soothes My Soul, And Calms My Fear;
It Speaks Of Pardon Bought With Blood.
And Is It True, That Many Fly
The Sound That Bids My Soul Rejoice;
And Rather Choose In Sin To Die,
Than Turn An Ear To Mercy’s Voice!
Alas For Those! The Day Is Near,
When Mercy Will Be Heard No More;
Then Will They Ask In Vain To Hear
The Voice They Would Not Hear Before.
With Such, I Own, I Once Appeared,
But Now I Know How Great Their Loss;
For Sweeter Sounds Were Never Heard
Than Mercy Utters From The Cross.
But Let Me Not Forget To Own,
That If I Differ Aught From Those,
‘Tis Due To Sovereign Grace Alone,
That Oft Selects Its Proudest Foes.
