Text: | I Heard a Voice |

Tune: | [I heard a voice, the sweetest voice] |
Composer: | Thoro Harris |
1 I heard a voice, the sweetest voice,
That mortal ever heard;
O how it made my heart rejoice,
And ev’ery feeling stirred!
’Twas Jesus spoke to me so mild,
He called me to his side.
And said, altho’ with heart defiled,
I might in him confide.
2 I saw his face, the fairest face
That mortal ever saw;
I longed the Saviour to embrace,
From him new life to draw.
“Come unto me,” he kindly said,
“And I will give thee rest;
The ransom-price I fully paid:
Repent! believe! be blest!”
3 I felt his love, the strongest love
That mortal ever felt;
O how it drew my soul above,
And made my hard heart melt!
My burden at his feet I laid,
And knew the joy of heav’n,
As in my willing ear he said
The blessed word, Forgiv’n!
