I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
Author: Horatius N. Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,236 hymnals 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,
so weary, 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 the dawning 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 trav’ling days are done. Topics: Assurance of Grace; Conversion and New Life; Gathering; Jesus Christ Love of; Joy; Suffering Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD Text Sources: Hymns Original and Selected, 1846, alt.

Fierce Raged the Tempest
Author: Godfrey Thring Meter: 8.8.8.3 Appears in 134 hymnals First Line: Fierce raged the tempest, o’er the deep Lyrics: 1 Fierce raged the tempest, o’er the deep,
anxious disciples watch did keep;
but you were wrapped in guileless sleep,
calm and still.
2 “Save, us, we perish!” was their cry.
“Save us or we will surely die!”
Your word above the storm rose high:
“Peace! be still.”
3 The wild winds hushed; the angry deep
fell, like a little child, to sleep;
the sullen billows ceased to leap,
at your will.
4 So, when our life is clouded o’er,
and storm-winds drift us from the shore,
say, lest we sink to rise no more,
“Peace! be still.” Topics: Jesus Christ Miracles of; Jesus Christ Miracles of; Joy; Peace Inner; Suffering Scripture: Psalm 37:7 Used With Tune: ST. AËLRED
