Say Sinner Hath a Voice Within

BERA-John E. Gould
WARD-Scotch tune

Say, Sinner! Hath a Voice Within
}
Say, sinner! hath a voice within
Oft whispered to thy secret soul,
Urged thee to leave the ways of sin,
And yield thy heart to God's control?

Sinner! it was a heavenly voice,
It was the Spirit's gracious call;
It bade thee make the better choice,
And haste to seek in Christ thine all.

Spurn not the call to life and light;
Regard, in time, the warning kind;
That call thou mayst not always slight,
And yet the gate of mercy find.

God's Spirit will not always strive
With hardened, self-destroying man;
Ye who persist his love to grieve,
May never hear his voice again.

Sinner! perhaps, this very day,
Thy last accepted time may be:
O shouldst thou grieve him now away,
Then hope may never beam on thee.
