Hark! There Comes a Whisper

Hark! there comes a whisper
Stealing on thine ear:
’Tis the Savior calling,
Soft, soft and clear.

Refrain

“Give thy heart to Me,
Once I died for thee”;
Hark! Hark! thy Savior calls:
Come, sinner, come!

With that voice so gentle,
Dost thou hear Him say?
“Tell Me all thy sorrows;
Come, come away!”

Refrain

Wouldst thou find a refuge
For thy soul oppressed?
Jesus kindly answers,
“I am thy Rest.”

Refrain

At the cross of Jesus,
Let thy burden fall;
While He gently whispers,
“I’ll bear it all.”

Refrain
