1 There is One speaking “as never man spake,”
Hear ye Him!
He pleads you a choice this moment to make,
Hear ye Him!

Refrain:
Hear ye Him!
Hear ye Him!
It is the Savior’s voice!
Today, today make Him thy choice.

2 There is One calling, “O give me thy heart,”
Hear ye Him!
Make room for that One lest He should depart,
Hear ye Him! [Refrain]

3 There is One bidding the weary to rest,
Hear ye Him!
With offers of comfort to the oppressed,
Hear ye Him! [Refrain]

4 There is One calling the blind to arise,
Hear ye Him!
To visions of joy He opens their eyes,
Hear ye Him! [Refrain]

Notes

Instances of the hymn being credited to Civilla D. Martin are in error. The copyright was registered 29 December 1902 by W.E.M. Hackleman, songwriters Jno. R. Clements and Chas. H. Gabriel, as printed in the Catalogue of Title Entries, First Quarter 1903, p. 92. Martin did not start publishing hymns until 1905.
