448. List to the Voice

1 List to the voice of the Savior
Coming from heaven above,
Filled with a message so tender,
Filled with a message of love;
Softly it speaks to the weary,
Tenderly speaks to the sad;
Turning their night into morning,
Making the lonely heart glad.

Refrain:
List to the voice,
O how tender and sweet,
Calling you home
Where the ransomed shall meet.

2 List to the voice of the Savior
Calling the weary, opprest,
Lovingly, tenderly pleading,
“Come, and I will give you rest.”
Come with your grief and your sorrow,
Come with your burden of sin;
Trust in the blessed Redeemer,
Life everlasting you’ll win. [Refrain]

3 List to the voice of the Savior
Calling to you and to me,
Calling us over the tumult,
Calling us over the sea;
Go, for the lost ones are straying,
Far from the Savior they roam;
“Go in the byways and hedges”
Bringing the wanderers home. [Refrain]
