1 Tho’ I my Saviour may not see,
Yet every hour He speaks to me,
And since I made of Him my choice,
O praise the Lord, I know His voice.
Refrain:
I know His voice, my Saviour’s voice;
And oh, it makes my heart rejoice,
Whenever He shall speak to me;
O praise the Lord I know His voice.
2 How often, tho’ I see no form,
I hear His voice above the storm;
He bids the waves their tumult cease;
The sun breaks forth and all is peace. [Refrain]
3 He speaks to me of truth and right,
Of joy and rest beyond our sight;
He speaks to me of peace and love,
And tells me of the home above. [Refrain]

Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church.
Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill.

For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton… Go to person page >
