L. M.

EHOVAH speaketh once, yea twice,
He utters forth his mighty voice;

He calls aloud to Adam's race,

At every time, in every place.

2 He speaks from heaven, his high abode,
By mercies every hour bestow'd;
He loudly speaks by judgments too;
Ye sons of men, he speaks to you.
3 To you he speaks in various ways,
His justice and his grace displays;
He speaks, yet some do not perceive,
The word of God they won't believe.
4 While some refuse to lend an ear,
His voice with trembling may we hear,
And give our sinful wand'rings o'er,
And slight his offer'd grace no more.

[OW vast, how wondrous is that love,
Which brought the Saviour from above;

That love, if sinners did but know,
They would not slight the Saviour so.
2 May Jesus now his grace impart,
And may his love fill every heart,
And change the vulture to the dove,

And turn their hatred into love. w. s.
