I heard the voice of Jesus say

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,226 hymnals Topics: Septuagesima Sunday 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. Used With Tune: VOX DILECTI

O Thou to Whose all-searching sight

Author: N. L. von Zinzendorf; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 391 hymnals Topics: Septuagesima Lyrics: O Thou to whose all-searching sight The darkness shineth as the light, Search, prove my heart; it pants for thee: O burst these bonds, and set it free! Wash out its stains, refine its dross, Nail my affections to the cross; Hallow each thought; let all within Be clean, as thou, my Lord, art clean. If in this darksome wild I stray, Be thou my Light, be thou my Way; No foes, no evils need I fear, No harm, while thou, my God, art near. When rising floods my soul o'erflow, When sinks my heart in waves of woe, Jesus, thy timely aid impart, And raise my head, and cheer my heart. Savior, where'er thy steps I see, Dauntless, untired, I follow thee: O let thy hand support me still, And lead me to thy holy hill! Amen. Used With Tune: GRACE CHURCH

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66; Andrew of Crete, cir. 660 - 732 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 305 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent Lyrics: 1 Christian, dost thou see them On the holy ground, How the hosts of darkness Compass thee around? Christian, up and smite them, Counting gain but loss; Smite them by the merit Of the holy Cross. 2 Christian, dost thou feel them, How they work within, Striving, tempting, luring, Goading into sin? Christian, never tremble, Never be down-cast; Gird thee for the battle, Watch and pray and fast. 3 Christian, dost thou hear them, How they speak thee fair: Always fast and vigil, Always watch and prayer? Christian, answer boldly, 'While I breathe, I pray.' Peace shall follow battle, Night shall end in day. 4 Well I know thy trouble, O my servant true, Thou art very weary, I was weary too; But that toil shall make thee Some day all mine own, But the end of sorrow Shall be near my throne.
