The voice of God is call¤ing,
His mes¤sage is for thee,
Your life is pass¤ing, and death is com¤ing,
And then E¤ter¤ni¤ty;
Oh, count the cost–
Why should your soul be lost?

Chorus:
The voice of God is call¤ing,
In ten¤der mer¤cy call¤ing;
Oh, hear His voice now call¤ing,
Why should your soul be lost?

Will you not stop and heark¤en?
How can you fail to see
That time is fly¤ing, And soon the judg¤ment
Will come for you and me?
Oh haste, I pray,
Pre¤pare for that great day.

The path on which you jour¤ney
Will end in dark de¤spair,
And God in mer¤cy With you is plead¤ing,
Why should you fin¤ish there,
To weep and wail
Where pray’rs can¤not a¤vail?

No long¤er grieve His Spir¤it,
But heed the Sav¤iour’s call,
His great sal¤va¤tion And life e¤ter¤nal
He of¤fers free to all;
Make Him your choice,
All heav¤en will re¤joice.

Once more in love and mer¤cy,
The call is sound¤ing clear;
Why long¤er hard¤en your heart a¤gainst Him,
And turn a¤way your ear,
To find at last,
All hope of heav’n is past?
