1 Oft have I heard a voice that said,
In tones that were soft and low,
"Thy Savior has loved, and loves thee yet;
Then why wilt thou slight Him so?"
Refrain:
But where is my soul, where is my soul,
Where is my soul tonight?
That voice pleads on, pleads patiently on,
But where is my soul tonight?
2 Oft have I heard a warning voice
That urged me to fly from sin;
To open the door I long have closed,
And welcome the Savior in. [Refrain]
3 Oft have I heard a tender voice,
When troubled and care-oppressed;
And then like a weary child I sighed
In Jesus to find a rest. [Refrain]
4 Oft have I heard a grieved, sad voice,
Entreating me o’er and o’er;
And if I refuse to hear it now,
Perhaps it will come no more.
O Savior, I yield, Savior, I yield,
Take Thou my soul tonight.
I now believe, and gladly receive
Thy message of grace tonight.
