Author: Ada Blenkhorn Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: My Saviour's voice is sweet to me Refrain First Line: He speaks, and list'ning to His voice Lyrics: 1 My Saviour’s voice is sweet to me, I love to hear it more and more; He speaketh, low and tenderly, Sweet words of comfort o’er and o’er. Refrain: He speaks, and list’ning to His voice, Sweet peace doth all my spirit fill; And in His goodness I rejoice, When He doth whisper “Peace, be still.” 2 To Him whene’er I, grieving, go, And tell the troubles of the day, He speaks in accents soft and low, And all my tears are wiped away. [Refrain] 3 When at the throne in prayer I kneel, And seek to find from sin release, What joy unspeakable I feel When Jesus whispers “Go in peace.” [Refrain] 4 New pow’r and life His words impart, And cleanse from ev’ry stain of sin; They fill with light the darkened heart That lets the Holy Spirit in. [Refrain] 5 Oh, listen to that Voice divine, And yield to His persuasive love; So shall His peace and joy be thine, And countless blessings from above. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [My Savior’s voice is sweet to me]
