The Voice of Jesus

I heard the voice of Jesus say
Remember thou art mine
         Isaiah 43:1
Where’ere you go along lifes way
Like me thou art to shine.
        Psalm 17:15

I hear the voice of Jesus ask
Have you been true today?     John 8:46
Have you been faithful to the task
In all you do and say?         Matthew 21:28-30

I heard the voice of Jesus speak
In accent low and mild       Is. 42:2 
To thee I’m sent, who art so weak,
  Eph. 3:16
I’ll strengthen thee, my child.

I hear the voice of Jesus near
When I in danger stand,                 Is. 8:12,13
In trouble thou shouldst never fear
I’ll take thy trembling hand
.          Matt. 17:7

I hear the voice, Oh listen hark,
I’m to the world a light
To those who stumble in the dark,
A shining pathway bright.           Eph. 5:14

I hear the voice of Jesus, kind,
Come, loved, one take thy rest,     Matt. 11:28
My yoke is easy thou shalt find.
     Matt. 11:30
Come, lean upon my breast.           Ezek. 16:8

I heard the voice of Jesus dear,
Oh, how I value thee,                        Mal. 3:17
Someday, if true, thou shalt be near
And thou shalt happy be
.             Rev. 22:4, 12

I hear the voice of Jesus strong
Peace, peace thou troubled soul
Oh, may the restless, Godless throng
Accept and be made whole.          2 Cor. 6:1-2

I heard the voice of Jesus weep
Before a morgue of dread.
I hear a prayer that wakes the sleep
Of one for three days dead.         Jn. 11:33-44

I hear the voice of Jesus cry
Come unto me and drink              Jn. 7:37
Come, thirsty one, about to die
In cooling waters sink.                 Rev. 22:17

I hear the voice of Jesus come
When troubles press me sore.     Ps. 27:5
And now a hymn of hope I hum
What could I ask for more?
            Ps. 71:23
