I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,223 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 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. Topics: Calling; Coming to Christ; Communion Service; Conversion; Invitation; God or Christ as Light; Peace and Rest; Profession of Faith; Christ as Prophet; Voice of Jesus; Water of Life Used With Tune: RESTING PLACE

I Need Your Help, O LORD My God
I Bow My Forehead to the Dust
Author: John G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 76 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. I bow my forehead to the dust,
I veil mine eyes for shame,
And urge, in trembling self distrust,
A prayer without a claim.
No offering of mine own I have,
Nor works my faith to prove;
I can but give the gifts He gave,
And plead His love for love.
2. I dimly guess, from blessings known,
Of greater out of sight;
And, with the chastened psalmist, own
His judgments too are right.
And if my heart and flesh are weak
To bear an untried pain,
The bruiséd reed He will not break,
But strengthen and sustain.
3. I know not what the future hath
Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.
And so beside the silent sea
I wait the muffled oar;
No harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.
4. I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His love and care;
And Thou, O Lord, by whom are seen
Thy creatures as they be,
Forgive me if too close I lean
My human heart on Thee. Used With Tune: RESTING PLACE Text Sources: The Tent on the Beach, and Other Poems, 1867
