I Heard the Voice of Jesus say

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 1,239 hymnals 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 trav'ling days are done.

Hosanna! Great Teacher, we raise Our hearts and our voices in hymning Thy praise; For precept and promise so graciously given, For blessings of earth, and for glories of heaven, For blessings of earth, and for glories of heaven.

Crown Him with many Crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges Appears in 814 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns All music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless King Thro' all eternity. 2 Crown Him the Lord of Love; Behold His hands and side, Rich wounds yet visible above In beauty glorified. No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends His burning eye At mysteries so bright. 3 Crown Him the Lord of Peace; Whose power a scepter sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, And all be prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end, And 'round His pierced feet Fair flowers of Paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet. 4 Crown him the Lord of years, The Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou hast died for me; Thy praise shall never, never fail Throughout eternity. Topics: Praise and Prayer Praise; Missions; Youth Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
