I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,233 hymnals Topics: Communion Service 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. Used With Tune: RESTING PLACE

And to the weary, rest.

My Prophet, Priest, and King!
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End!

And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see Thee as Thou art,
I'll praise Thee as I ought.

With every fleeting breath:
And may the music of Thy Name
Refresh my soul in death. Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Author: Rev. Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,242 hymnals Topics: Communion Service Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last!

Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, O leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me.
All my trust on Thee is stayed;
All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
More than all in Thee I find.
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy Name,
I am all unrighteousness;
False and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound;
Make me, keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
Freely let me take of Thee;
Spring Thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity. Used With Tune: REFUGE

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty rock
Within a weary land,
A home within the wilderness,
A rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat,
And the burden of the day.
2 Upon that cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One
Who suffered there for me;
And from my stricken heart with tears,
Two wonders I confess:
The wonders of His glorious love
And my own worthlessness.
3 I take, O cross, thy shadow
For my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face;
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss,
My sinful self my only shame,
My glory all, the cross! Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me

Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure:
Save from guilt and make me pure.
2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfil Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no languor know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment-throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee. Used With Tune: TOPLADY

it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be joined in heart
and hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
our courage by the way,
while each in expectation lives
and waits to see that day.

and sin, we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign

For such a worm as I?

And love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man the creature's sin.

While His dear cross appears;
Dissolve, my heart, in thankfulness!
And melt, my eyes, to tears! Used With Tune: AVON (MARTYRDOM)

With sore abuse and scorn!
How does that visage languish,
Which once was bright as morn!

Was all for sinners’ gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior,
’Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor,
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.

Outlive my love to Thee. Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: Translation from the German

Sin with its follies, I gladly resign,
All of its pleasures, pomp, and its pride;

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
2 I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree.
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
3 I'll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
And say, when the death-dew lies cold on my brow:
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
4 In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow:
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now. Used With Tune: CARITAS

Thou Art My Shepherd

Caring in every need,
Watching Thy flock to feed;
I trust Thee still.
In the green pastures low,
Where living waters flow,
Safe by Thy side I go,
Fearing no ill.
2 Or if my way lie
Where darkening shadows nigh
My soul would terrify
With sudden chill,
Yet I am not afraid;
While softly on my head
Thy tender hand is laid,
I fear no ill.
3 Goodness and mercy
Ever shall follow me,
Till by Thy grace I see
Thy holy hill.
Lord, in that home with Thee,
Joyful eternally,
Folded Thy flock shall be,
Safe from all ill. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: MY SHEPHERD

Redemption's only spring!

Which laid our sins on Thee,
And led Thee to a cruel death,
To set Thy people free.

The ransom has been paid;
And Thou art on Thy Father's throne,
In glorious robes arrayed.

Our ever great reward!

To glory in the Lord. Used With Tune: BRADFORD Text Sources: Latin hymn, 7th or 8th Century

Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,220 hymnals Topics: Communion Service Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 Look how we grovel here below,
Fond of these trifling toys;
Our souls can neither fly nor go
To reach eternal joys.
3 In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Savior’s love,
And that shall kindle ours. Used With Tune: ST. AGNES
Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove
