Sweet Is The Friendly Voice Which Speaks

Author: Thomas Jervis Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15682 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the friendly voice which speaks The words of life and peace; Which bids the penitent rejoice, And sin and sorrow cease. 2 No healing balm on earth like this Can cheer the contrite heart; No flattering dreams of earthly bliss Such pure delight impart. 3 Thou still art merciful and kind; Thy mercy, Lord, reveal: The broken heart ’tis Thou canst bind, The wounded spirit heal. 4 Let Thy bright presence, Lord, restore Peace to my anxious breast: Conduct me in the path that leads To everlasting rest.
