I Heard the Voice of Jesus

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,261 hymnals Topics: Epiphany Year A; Epiphany 3 Year C First Line: I heard the voice of Jesus say 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 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 travelling days are done. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

In joy or in sorrow, still follow the Lord, and, looking to Jesus, still trust in his word. 3 Take time to be holy, be calm in your soul, each thought and each motive beneath his control. Thus led by his spirit to fountains of love, you soon shall be fitted for service above. Used With Tune: HOLINESS

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 386 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 7 Year B; Epiphany 7 Year C Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife, we hear your voice of life again. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds, dark with fears, from paths where hide the lures of greed, we catch the vision of your tears. 3 The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; yet long these multitudes to view the strong compassion of your face. 4 O Master, from the mountainside make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide, and tread the city's streets again, 5 till all the world shall learn your love and follow where your feet have trod, till glorious from your heaven above shall come the city of our God.
