Listen to the Spirit's Voice: A Poem

LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT'S VOICE. (For the Improvement Era.) Oh listen to the Spirit's voice, Oh listen to the Spirit's voice, 'Twill guide you through each day, The tempter then will flee; And plant your feet more firmly in If you will heed that warning voice, He'll ne'er return to thee. The straight and narrow way. Oh listen to the Spirit's voice, Oh listen to the Spirit's voice, And then you'll be secure; When your cross seems hard to bear, Though Satan's hosts may do their best For close beside that cross I see Your pathway to obscure. The Savior kneeling there. Oh listen to the Spirit's voice; Oh listen to the Spirit's voice, Oh listen while you're free, You will be happy then, For unto whom you list to serve, For Father said : "My Spirit will His servant you will be. Not always strive with men." Oh listen to the Spirit's voice Oh listen to the Spirit's voice, While youth is in it's bloom, His call is one of love Wait not until your friends have laid 'Twill lead you back to Father's house, Your body in the tomb In his mansions up above.
