11558. Whispering In My Heart

1 Jesus found me wandering,
Far from Him astray,
Tenderly He led me
To the shining way;
Words of peace He whispered,
Bade my fears depart;
Oh, ’twas sweet to hear Him,
Whispering in my heart.

Refrain:
Whispering, whispering,
Oh, what joy is mine;
Whispering, whispering,
Words of love divine;
No strain of earthly music
Such rapture can impart;
I’m glad I ever heard Him
Whispering in my heart.

2 I can hear Him whisper,
When my soul is tried,
Fear not, I am with thee;
I am at thy side.
When the foe assails me,
Jesus takes my part;
I rejoice to hear Him
Whispering in my heart. [Refrain]

3 Would you hear the Savior’s
Gentle voice within?
Now, while He is calling,
Leave the path of sin.
Peace that passeth knowledge
Freely He’ll impart;
You today may hear Him
Whispering in your heart. [Refrain]
