Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889; Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,239 hymnals Topics: Gentleness First Line: I head the voice of Jesus say (Oí la voz del Salvador) Lyrics: ENGLISH - 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 this dark world's light; Look unto me, our 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. SPANISH - 1 Oí la voz del Salvador Decir con tierno amor: "¡Oh! ven a mí, descansarás; Soy tu consolador." Cansado estaba, y sin tardar, A Cristo acudí, Y luego dulce alivio y pas Por fe yo recibí. 2 Oí la voz del Salvador Decir: "Venid, bebed; Yo soy la fuente de salud Que apaga toda sed." Con sed de Dios, del vivo Dios, Busqué al Salvador; Lo hallé, mi sed el apagó, Y hoy vivo en mi Señor. 3 Oí su dulce voz decir: "Del mundo soy la luz; "¡Oh! mírame, te salvaré; Hay vida por mi cruz." Mirando a Cristo, luego en él Mi norte y sol hallé; Y en esa luz de vida y paz Por siempre viviré. Scripture: Matthew 11:25-30 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Ralph Vaughan Williams

1872 - 1958 Person Name: Ralph Vaughan Williams, 1872-1958 Topics: Gentleness Harmonizer of "KINGSFOLD" in Oramos Cantando = We Pray In Song Through his composing, conducting, collecting, editing, and teaching, Ralph Vaughan Williams (b. Down Ampney, Gloucestershire, England, October 12, 1872; d. Westminster, London, England, August 26, 1958) became the chief figure in the realm of English music and church music in the first half of the twentieth century. His education included instruction at the Royal College of Music in London and Trinity College, Cambridge, as well as additional studies in Berlin and Paris. During World War I he served in the army medical corps in France. Vaughan Williams taught music at the Royal College of Music (1920-1940), conducted the Bach Choir in London (1920-1927), and directed the Leith Hill Music Festival in Dorking (1905-1953). A major influence in his life was the English folk song. A knowledgeable collector of folk songs, he was also a member of the Folksong Society and a supporter of the English Folk Dance Society. Vaughan Williams wrote various articles and books, including National Music (1935), and composed numerous arrangements of folk songs; many of his compositions show the impact of folk rhythms and melodic modes. His original compositions cover nearly all musical genres, from orchestral symphonies and concertos to choral works, from songs to operas, and from chamber music to music for films. Vaughan Williams's church music includes anthems; choral-orchestral works, such as Magnificat (1932), Dona Nobis Pacem (1936), and Hodie (1953); and hymn tune settings for organ. But most important to the history of hymnody, he was music editor of the most influential British hymnal at the beginning of the twentieth century, The English Hymnal (1906), and coeditor (with Martin Shaw) of Songs of Praise (1925, 1931) and the Oxford Book of Carols (1928).
