Acts 24:1--26:32

• [Act 26:14] I Hear A Voice That Comes From Far

  I hear a voice that comes from far; From Calvary it sounds abroad; It soothes my soul, and calms my fear; It speaks of pardon bought with blood. And is it true, that many fly The sound that bids my soul rejoice; And rather choose in sin to die, Than turn an ear to mercy’s voice! Alas for those! The day is near, When mercy will be heard no more; Then will they ask in vain to hear The voice they would not hear before. With such, I own, I once appeared, But now I know how great their loss; For sweeter sounds were never heard Than mercy utters from the cross. But let me not forget to own, That if I differ aught from those, ’Tis due to sovereign grace alone, That oft selects its proudest foes.

• [Act 26:20] Because I Knew Not When My Life Was Good

  Because I knew not when my life was good, And when there was a light upon my path, But turned my soul perversely to the dark, O Lord, I do repent. Because I held upon my selfish road, And left my brother wounded by the way, And called ambition duty, and pressed on, O Lord, I do repent. Because I spent the strength Thou gavest me In struggle which Thou never didst ordain, And have imperfect life to offer Thee, O Lord, I do repent. Because I was impatient, would not wait, And thrust my willful hand across Thy threads, And marred the pattern drawn out for my life, O Lord, I do repent.

• [Act 26:28] Almost

  Almost, but still I resisted, Almost but never believed; Almost, but waited and waited, Till the sweet Spirit was grieved. Refrain Now is the time to receive Him, Now is the time to be saved; Now, while the Spirit is pleading, Now, Jesus waiteth to save. Almost at one time I yielded, Almost at one time was saved; Almost, but drifted and drifted, Satan thus held me enslaved. Refrain Almost, why longer refuse Him? Almost, O lost one, believe; Almost, swing open thy heart’s door, Jesus the Savior receive. Refrain

• [Act 26:28] Almost Persuaded

  “Almost persuaded” now to believe; “Almost persuaded” Christ to receive; Seems now some soul to say, “Go, Spirit, go Thy way, Some more convenient day On Thee I’ll call.” “Almost persuaded,” come, come today; “Almost persuaded,” turn not away; Jesus invites you here, Angels are lingering near Prayers rise from hearts so dear; O wanderer, come! “Almost persuaded,” harvest is past! “Almost persuaded,” doom comes at last! “Almost” cannot avail; “Almost” is but to fail! Sad, sad, that bitter wail— “Almost,” but lost!
