I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,233 hymnals Topics: Abiding in Christ Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Come unto me and rest; lay down, O weary one, lay down your head upon my breast." I came to Jesus as I was, weary and worn and sad; I found in him a resting place, and he has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give the living water; thirsty one, stoop down and drink, and live." 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, your morn shall rise, and all your days be bright." I looked to Jesus and I found in him my Star, my Sun; and in that light of life I'll walk, 'til trav'ling days are done. Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Used With Tune: VOX DILECTI

O little town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 855 hymnals Topics: Abiding in Christ Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by: Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary; And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heav'n. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; Oh come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel. Amen. Scripture: Micah 5:2 Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS

"Forgive him, O forgive," they cry, "Forgive him, O forgive," they cry, "nor let that ransomed sinner die!" 4 My God is reconciled; his pard'ning voice I hear; he owns me for his child, I can no longer fear; with confidence I now draw nigh, with confidence I now draw nigh, and "Father, Abba, Father!" cry.
