Blest Lord, Thou Spakest! 'twas Thy Voice

To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. John 10:3,4

And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: those also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd. John 10:16

  1. Hebrews 3:7, John 10:16Blest Lord, Thou spakest! 'twas Thy voice

    John 10:3,4, John 10:27That led our hearts to Thee;

    Proverbs 8:19, John 12:26That drew us to that better choice,

    Galatians 5:1, Romans 8:2Where grace has set us free.

  2. Philippians 3:4, Acts 26:2Thou wouldest that we should rejoice,

    Genesis 5:24, 2 Corinthians 5:7And walk by faith below;

    John 10:3,4, John 5:25Enough, that we have heard Thy voice,

    John 12:27, Matthew 26:38And learned Thy love's deep woe -

  3. Ezekiel 19:13, John 12:41Thy glory, Lord: this living waste

    Lamentations 5:5, Hebrews 9:4To us no rest can give;

    Proverbs 4:18, Hebrews 12:1Our path is on with earnest haste,

    Matthew 11:29, Hebrews 4:11Lord, in Thy rest to live.

  4. 1 Peter 1:4, Philippians 3:14Our happiness, O Lord, with Thee

    1 John 1:4, 1 Corinthians 2:9Is long laid up in store,

    1 John 3:2, Isaiah 33:17For that blest day when Thee we'll see,

    1 Thessalonians 4:17, Acts 17:31And conflict will be o'er.

  5. John 17:24, John 3:35Yes, love divine in Thee we know;

    John 17:24, Matthew 16:27The Father's glories soon

    1 John 3:2, 2 Thessalonians 1:10Shall burst upon our ravished view,

    1 Thessalonians 2:19, Revelation 3:11Thyself our joy and crown.

  6. Revelation 1:17, 1 John 3:2Soon shall we see Thee as Thou art,

    1 John 3:3, Colossians 1:27O hope for ever blest!

    Revelation 4:1, 1 Thessalonians 4:16Thou'lt call us, in our heav'nly part,

    John 14:1-3, Hebrews 4:9The Father's house, to rest.

  7. Psalms 62:1, Hebrews 4:10O rest ineffable, divine,

    Psalms 62:1, Hebrews 4:10The rest of God above,

    2 Corinthians 4:4, Revelation 22:5Where we shall ever see Thee shine,

    1 Thessalonians 4:17,18, Romans 8:39Our joy, eternal love!
