Representative Text

1 I love to hear my Savior's voice--
The voice that stilled the sea,
Spoke peace unto my troubled heart,
And comfort gave to me.

Chorus:
I love to hear my Savior's voice.
No other shall I know;
It is the voice of One who died,
Because He loved me so.

2 I love to hear my Savior's voice--
The voice that healed the blind,
Brought light unto my sightless eyes,
And healing to my mind. [Chorus]

3 I love to hear my Savior's voice--
The voice that plead for me,
Beneath the shadow of the Cross,
In dark Gethsemane. [Chorus]

4 I love to hear my Savior's voice--
The voice death could not still
Shall raise, triumphant from the grave,
All those who do His will. [Chorus]
