I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,223 hymnals Scripture: John 8:12 Lyrics: 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; your 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 traveling days are done.

Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 475 hymnals Scripture: John 8:12 Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true and only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
triumph o'er the shades of night;
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
unaccompanied by thee;
joyless is the day's return
till thy mercy's beams I see,
till they inward light impart,
glad my eyes and warm my heart.
3 Visit, then, this soul of mine,
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, Radiancy divine,
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more thyself display,
shining to the perfect day!

as once you broke the loaves beside the sea.
Beyond the sacred page I seek you, Lord;
my spirit waits for you, O living Word.

as when you blessed the bread by Galilee.
Then shall all bondage cease, all fetters fall;
and I shall find my peace, my All in all!
3 You are the bread of life, dear Lord, to me,
your holy word the truth that rescues me.
Give me to eat and live with you above;
teach me to love your truth, for you are love.
4 O send your Spirit now, dear Lord, to me,
that he may touch my eyes and make me see.
Show me the truth made plain within your Word,
for in your book revealed I see you, Lord.

Sheds on our path the glow of day;
Star of our hope, Thy softened light
Cheers the long watches of the night.

Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn,
Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy's sign;
All save the clouds of sin are Thine.

And kindling hearts that burn for Thee;
Till all Thy living altars claim
One holy light, one heav'nly flame.

Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

not a frown nor a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey. (Refrain)

the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows
and the joy he bestows
are for them who will trust and obey. (Refrain)

we will sit at his feet,
or we'll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go–
never fear, only trust and obey. (Refrain) Topics: Burdens; Jesus Christ Presence of; Obedience; Sorrow; Submission; Trust; Walking with God Used With Tune: TRUST AND OBEY
