(427) My Spirit Shall Not Always Strive.

Say, sinner, hath a voice within

Oft whispered to thy secret soul,

Urged thee to leave the ways of sin,

And yield thy heart to God's control?

2 Sinner! it was a heavenly voice,--

It was the Spirit's gracious call;

It bade thee make the better choice,

And haste to seek in Christ thine all.

3 Spurn not the call for life and light;
