60*. Hark! the Voice of Jesus Calling

8,7.
by A. Midlane
1
Hark! the voice of Jesus calling — 
 
"Come, ye laden, come to Me;
 
I have rest and peace to offer,
 
Rest, thou laboring one, for thee:
 
Take salvation — 
 
Take it now and happy be."
“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
“(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2)
2
Yes; though high in heavenly glory,
 
Still the Savior calls to thee;
 
Faith can hear His gracious accents — 
 
"Come, ye laden, come to Me;
 
Take salvation — 
 
Take it now and happy be."
“He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.” (Proverbs 16:20)

Soon that voice will cease its calling,
 
Now it speaks, and speaks to thee:
 
Sinner, heed the gracious message — 
 
To the blood for refuge flee:
 
"Take salvation — 
 
Take it now and happy be."
4
Life is found alone in Jesus,
 
Only there ’tis offered thee — 
 
Offered without price or money,
 
’Tis the gift of God sent free,
 
"Take salvation — 
 
Take it now and happy be."
