The Voice of Jesus

I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream, My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light; Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found In him my star, my sun, And in that light of life I'll walk, Till all my journey's done. Used With Tune: [I heard the voice of Jesus say]

Chorus: Are rolling on, are rolling on, Oh, the good we may be doing, While the years are rolling on. 2 There's no time to waste in sighing, While the years are rolling on; Time is flying, souls are dying, While the years are rolling on. Loving words a soul may win From the wretched paths of sin; We may bring the wand'rers in, While the years are rolling on.

This is work for every hand, Till, throughout creation's land, Armies for the Lord shall stand, While the years are rolling on. [Chorus] 4 Friends we love are quickly flying, While the years are rolling on; No more parting, no more dying, While the years are rolling on. In the world beyond the tomb Sorrows never more can come, When we meet in that blest home, While the years are rolling on. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [In a world so full of weeping]

McDonald Appears in 112 hymnals First Line: I saw a way-worn trav'ler Refrain First Line: Then palms of victory Lyrics: 1 I saw a way-worn trav'ler, In tattered garments clad, And, struggling up the mountain, It seemed that he was sad.

Chorus: Then palms of victory, Crowns of glory, Palms of victory I shall wear. 2 The summer sun was shining, The sweat was on his brow, His garments worn and dusty, His step seemed very slow; But he kept pressing onward, For he was wending home, Still shouting as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!" [Chorus] 3 I saw him in the evening, The sun was bending low, He'd overtopped the mountain And reached the vale below: He saw the golden city,-- His everlasting home,-- And shouted loud, Hosanna, "Deliverance will come!" [Chorus] 4 I heard the song of triumph They sang upon that shore, Saying, Jesus has redeemed us To suffer nevermore; Then, casting his eyes backward On the race which he had run, He shouted loud, "Hosanna, Deliverance has come!" [Chorus] Used With Tune: [I saw a way-worn trav'ler]

His wounds for me stand open wide; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified. 3 Him to know is life and peace, And pleasure without end; This is all my happiness, On Jesus to depend, Daily in his grace to grow, And ever in his faith abide, Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified. 4 O that I could all invite, This saving truth to prove; Show the length, the breadth, the height, And depth of Jesus' love. Fain I would to sinners show, The blood by faith alone applied, Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified. Used With Tune: [Vain, delusive world, adieu]
