I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,228 hymnals 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.

God, Be Merciful to Me
Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 43 hymnals First Line: God be merciful to me Lyrics: 1 God, be merciful to me,
On Thy grace I rest my plea;
Plenteous in compassion Thou,
Blot out my transgressions now;
Wash me, make me pure within,
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.
2 My transgressions I confess,
Grief and guilt my soul oppress;
I have sinned against Thy grace
And provoked Thee to Thy face;
I confess Thy judgment just,
Speechless, I Thy mercy trust.
3 I am evil, born in sin;
Thou desirest truth within.
Thou alone my Saviour art,
Teach Thy wisdom to my heart;
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow,
Wash me whiter than the snow.
4 Broken, humbled to the dust
By Thy wrath and judgment just,
Let my contrite heart rejoice
And in gladness hear Thy voice;
From my sins O hide Thy face,
Blot them out in boundless grace.
5 Gracious God, my heart renew,
Make my spirit right and true;
Cast me not away from Thee,
Let Thy Spirit dwell in me;
Thy salvation's joy impart,
Steadfast make my willing heart.

To prove the doctrine all divine.

The honors of our Saviour God,
When His salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the power of sin.

Our inward piety approve.

While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on His word.

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 622 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou forever near me,
My Master and my Friend:
I shall not fear the battle
If Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If Thou wilt be my Guide.
2 O let me feel Thee near me!
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear;
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear Thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will!
O speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control!
O speak, and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul!
4 O Jesus, Thou has promised
To all who follow Thee
That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servant be;
And, Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
My Master and my Friend!

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Make Me A Captive, Lord
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
And then I shall be free;
Force me to render up my sword,
And I shall conqueror be.
2 I sink in life's alarms
When by myself I stand;
Imprison me within Thine arms,
And strong shall be my hand.
3 My heart is weak and poor
Until it master find;
It has no spring of action sure—
It varies with the wind.
4 It cannot freely move
Till Thou hast wrought its chain;
Enslave it with Thy matchless love,
And deathless it shall reign.
5 My will is not my own
Till Thou hast made it Thine;
If it would reach a monarch's throne,
It must its crown resign;
6 It only stands unbent
Amid the clashing strife,
When on Thy bosom it has leant,
And found in Thee its life. Topics: Christ Master; Christ Presence; Commitment; God Will, Doing His; Life in Christ Dedication and Consecration Scripture: John 15:5 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

For all of mortal breath,
Bind strong the bond of brotherhood
Of those who fight with death.
2 Empower the hands and hearts and wills
Of friends both near and far,
Who battle with the body's ills
And wage Thy holy war.
3 Where'er they heal the maimed and blind,
Let love of Christ attend:
Proclaim the good Physician's mind,
And prove the Saviour friend.
4 O Father, look from heaven and bless,
Where'er Thy servants be,
Their works of pure unselfishness,
Made consecrate to Thee.
Amen. Topics: Commitment; Doctors and Nurses; Healing; Service; Soldiers of Christ; Life in Christ Dedication and Consecration Scripture: Matthew 11:5 Used With Tune: ST. PETER
