3. I heard the voice of Jesus say, “I am this dark world’s Light; Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise And all thy day be bright!” I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him my Star, my Sun; And in that Light of Life I’ll walk Till traveling days are done. H. Bonar, 1846. 47 C. M. The Savior calls; let every ear Attend the heavenly sound, Ye doubting souls, dismiss your fear; Hope smiles reviving round. 2. For every thirsty, longing heart Here streams of bounty flow And life and health and bliss impart To banish mortal woe. 3. Here springs of sacred pleasures rise To ease your every pain; Immortal fountain! full supplies! Nor shall you thirst in vain. 4. Ye sinners, come, ’tis Mercy’s voice; The gracious call obey; Mercy invites to heavenly joys, And can you yet delay? 5. Dear Savior, draw reluctant hearts; To Thee let sinners fly And take the bliss Thy love imparts And drink and never die. Anne Steele, 1760. 48 7s Sinners, turn; why will ye die? God, your Maker, asks you—Why? God, who did your being give, Made you with Himself to live. 2. He the fatal cause demands, Asks the work of His own hands, Why, ye thankless creatures, why Will ye cross His love and die? 3. Sinners, turn; why will ye die? God, your Savior, asks you—Why? He, who did your souls retrieve, Died Himself that you might live. 4. Will ye let Him die in vain, Crucify your Lord again? Why, ye ransomed sinners, why Will ye slight His grace and die? 5. Sinners, turn; why will ye die? God the Spirit asks you—Why? He, who all your lifetime strove, Wooed you to embrace His love. 6. Will ye not His grace receive? Will ye still refuse to live? O ye long-sought sinners, why Will ye grieve your God and die? Charles Wesley, 1741. 49 7, 6, 8 l “Come unto Me, ye weary, And I will give you rest.” O blessed voice of Jesus, Which comes to hearts opprest! It tells of benediction, Of pardon, grace, and peace, Of joy that hath no ending, Of love which cannot cease. 2. “Come unto Me, dear children, And I will give you light.” O loving voice of Jesus, Which comes to cheer the night! Our hearts were filled with sadness, And we had lost our way; But He has brought us gladness And songs at break of day.
