I heard the voice of Jesus say
Remember thou art mine
Where’ere you go along live's way
Like me thou are to shine.

I heard the voice of Jesus ask
Have you been true today?
Have you been faithful to the task
In all you do and say?

I heard the voice of Jesus speak
In accents low and mild
To thee I’m sent who art so weak
To strengthen thee my child.

I heard the voice of Jesus near
When I in danger stand
In trouble thou should never fear
I’ll lead thee by the hand.

The voice of Jesus, listen, hark!
I’m to the world a light
To thee who stumble in the dark
I make thy pathway bright.

I heard the voice of Jesus kind
Come, loved one, take thy rest
My yoke is easy thou shalt find
Come lean upon my breast.

I heard the voice of Jesus dear
"Oh, how I value thee."
Some day if true thou shalt be near
And thou shalt happy be.

I heard the voice of Jesus come
When troubles press me sore
And now a song of hope I hum
What could I ask for more.
