I heard the voice of Jesus say
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Appears in 1,261 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Faith 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. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

sight, riches, healing of the mind,
yea, all I need in thee I find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

has broken every barrier down.
Now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

O holy city, seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie, 1882-1969 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 88 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Justice Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
within whose foursquare walls shall come
no night, nor need, nor pain,
and where the tears are wiped from eyes
that shall not weep again!
2 Hark, how from men whose lives are held
more cheap than merchandise,
from women struggling sore for bread,
from little children's cries,
there swells the sobbing human plaint
that bids thy walls arise.
3 Oh shame to us who rest content
while lust and greed for gain
in street and shop and tenement
wring gold from human pain,
and bitter lips in blind despair
cry “Christ hath died in vain!”
4 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that hath stood
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose crown is servanthood,
and where the sun that shineth is
God’s grace for human good.
5 Already in the mind of God
that city riseth fair:
lo, how its splendour challenges
the souls that greatly dare–
yea, bids us seize the whole of life
and build its glory there. Scripture: Hebrews 11:10 Used With Tune: MORNING SONG Text Sources: Hymns of the Christian Life, 1910, alt.
O holy city, seen of John
Where cross the crowded ways of life
Author: Frank Mason North, 1860-1935 Appears in 384 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Mission Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear your voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds, dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from woman's grief, man's burdened toil,
from famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to view
the sweet compassion of your face.
5 O Saviour, from the mountain side,
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
oh tread the city's streets again;
6 Till all the world shall learn your love,
and follow where your feet have trod;
till glorious from your heaven above,
shall come the city of our God. Scripture: Matthew 9:36 Used With Tune: WALTON (FULDA)
Where cross the crowded ways of life
Jesus, lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,381 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Faith Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high:
hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
till the storm of life is past,
safe into the haven guide;
oh receive my soul at last.
2 Other refuge have I none;
hangs my helpless soul on thee.
Leave, ah! leave me not alone;
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed;
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenceless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
more than all in thee I find:
raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name;
I am all unrighteousness:
false and full of sin I am;
thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound;
make and keep me pure within:
thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity. Scripture: Psalm 17:8 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
Jesus, lover of my soul

How firm a foundation
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,255 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Faith First Line: How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
is laid for your faith in God's excellent word!
What more can be said than to you hath been said,
to you that for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with thee; oh be not dismayed!
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand
upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
the rivers of woe shall not thee overflow,
for I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
my grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply:
the flames shall not hurt thee; I only design
thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.
5 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not– I will not– desert to his foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never– no, never– no, never forsake!" Scripture: Isaiah 35 Used With Tune: FOUNDATION Text Sources: K in Rippon's Selection of Hymns 1787
