I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #401 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Peace and Rest Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto Me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy 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; 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 traveling days are done.

God Our Advocate and Judge

Hymnal: The Psalter #92 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Aspirations For Peace and Rest First Line: Be Thou my helper in the strife Lyrics: 1 Be Thou my helper in the strife, O Lord, my strong defender be; Thy mighty shield protect my life, Thy spear confront the enemy, Amid the conflict, O my Lord, Thy precious promise let me hear, The faithful, reassuring word: I am thy Saviour, do not fear. 2 Ashamed, confounded let them be Who seek my ruin and disgrace; O let Thy angel fight for me, And drive my foes before his face. Without a cause my life they sought, Without a case their plots they laid; Themselves within their snares be caught, And be my crafty foes dismayed. 3 My soul is joyful in the Lord, In His salvation I rejoice; To Him my heart will praise accord And bless His Name with thankful voice. For who, O Lord, is like to Thee, Defender of the poor and meek? The needy Thy salvation see When mighty foes their ruin seek. 4 Unrighteous witnesses have stood And told of crimes beyond belief; Returning evil for my good, They overwhelm my soul with grief. When in affliction they were sad, I wept and made their grief my own; But in my trouble they are glad And strive that I may be o'erthrown. 5 O Lord, how long wilt Thou delay? My soul for Thy salvation waits; My thankfulness I will display Amid the crowds that throng Thy gates. Let not my enemies rejoice And wrongfully exult o'er me; They speak not peace, but lift their voice To trouble those that peaceful be. 6 My foes with joy my woes survey, but Thou, O Lord, hast seen it all; O be no longer far away, Nor silent when on Thee I call. O haste to my deliverance now, O Lord, my righteous cause maintain; My Lord and God alone art Thou; Awake, and make thy justice plain. 7 O Lord my God, I look to Thee, Be Thou my righteous Judge, I pray; Let not my foes exult o'er me And laugh with joy at my dismay. With shame and trouble those requite Who would my righteous cause destroy; But those who in the good delight, Let them be glad and shout for joy. 8 Yea, let the Lord be magnified, Because Thy servants Thou dost bless; And I, from morn till eventide, Will daily praise Thy righteousness. My soul is joyful in the Lord, In His salvation I rejoice; To Him my heart will praise accord And bless His Name with thankful voice. Scripture: Psalm 35 Languages: English Tune Title: CATHERINE

So men shall fear Thee wile the sun In daily splendor glows, And through all ages, while the moon On earth its light bestows. 3 Like rain upon the new-mown grass, That falls refreshingly, Like gentle showers that cheer the earth, So shall His coming be. The righteous in His glorious day Shall flourish and increase; The earth, until the moon shall fade, Shall have abundant peace. Scripture: Psalm 72 Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain; Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign. For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad; And all flesh shall see the token, That His Word is never broken. Languages: English Tune Title: THIRSTING

The Prayer of the Righteous

Hymnal: The Psalter #31 (1912) Topics: Aspirations For Peace and Rest First Line: Lord, hear the right, regard my cry Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear the right, regard my cry, My prayer from lips sincere; Send Thy approval from on high, My righteousness make clear. Thou in the night my heart hast tried, Nor found it turned from Thee aside. 2 With steadfast courage I design No wrong to speak or do; Thy path of life I choose for mine And walk with purpose true. For help, O God, I cry to Thee, Assured that Thou wilt answer me. 3 O Thou that ever savest those Whose trust on Thee is stayed, Preserving them from all their foes By Thy almighty aid, Let me Thy loving-kindness see, Thy wondrous mercy, full and free. 4 O guard me well as one doth guard The apple of the eye; While deadly foes are pressing hard, To Thee, to Thee I cry. Do Thou my rest and refuge be, O let Thy wings o'er shadow me. 5 My enemy, grown strong in pride, Would take my life away, A lion lurking by my side, Most greedy for his prey. Confront and cast him down, O Lord, From evil save me by Thy sword. 6 Defend me from the men of pride, Whose portion is below, Who, with life's treasures satisfied, No better portion know; They, with earth's joys and wealth content, Must leave them all when life is spent. 7 When I in righteousness at last Thy glorious face shall see, When all the weary night is past, And I awake with Thee To view the glories that abide, Then, then I shall be satisfied.

They who trust Him wholly Find Him wholly true. Languages: English Tune Title: [Like a river glorious]
