HIS VOICE

Oft through field and forest
And along the ocean's shore,
I listened for the voice of God,
In murmur, sigh and roar.

In the gentle breeze of springtime
And in the thunder's angry roll,
I searched to find His will for me,
That He might guide my soul.

I searched through all His hand had made
And still I never heard
The will of God for men like me,
Till I heard it from His Word!

"This is my beloved Son,
I shall be satisfied;
The debt of sin will all be paid
When He is crucified."

"Repent of sin, believe on Him,
Trust Him", says the Word.
Nowhere in voice of nature
Is such a message heard!

In all the fields and forests;
In ocean and in sky,
He shows His mighty power,
But never draws men nigh.

Only in the Gospel
Does He ever point the way
To Christ and life eternal
And His will for me today!
