I Hear a Voice That Comes from Far (EN 4650)

EN 4650 I Hear a Voice That Comes from Far

Acts.26.14

Versi Version 1

1

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.

2

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!

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.
