Your Sunday Hymn: I Heard The Voice Of Jesus Say

The very Celtic sounding “I Heard The Voice Of Jesus Say”, (set to the tune “Kingsfold”) is performed by a very Celtic sounding Dutch band, called Trinity.

Trinity is a band formed by 4 young talented musicians from The Netherlands. Three of the band members, the Smelt brothers, spent their childhood in Peru. Their South American up-tempo musical roots together with their love for Celtic music are the ingredients of Trinity’s passionate pop songs. Their debut album “Inicio” (which means beginning) was released in October of 2007 and was received very well by their audience. “Inicio” contains some songs that they have sung since childhood, but also songs that inspired them. Familiar songs like “Wayfaring Stranger” and Matt Redman’s “Mission’s Flame” are rearranged with the unique Trinity sound.

So glad I found this..

Lyrics:

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.
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.
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’lling days are done.
