Is it either one of these, Newfoundlander? They're both from "The Broadman Hymnal," 1940 edition. If you'd like me to post the tunes, let me know. -Joe Offer-

I HEARD THE VOICE OF JESUS SAY
words: Horatius Bonar, 1846
tune: Old English (?) Air (Star of County Down)


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.


WHEREVER HE LEADS I'LL GO
words and music, B.B. McKinney

"Take up thy cross and follow Me," I heard my Master say;
"I gave My life to ransom thee, Surrender your all today."

[chorus]
Wherever He leads I'll go
Wherever He leads I'll go
I'll follow my Christ who loves me so,
Wherever He leads I'll go
He drew me closer to His side, I sought His will to know,
And in that will I now abide, Wherever He leads I'll go.
[chorus]

It may be through the shadows dim, Or o'er the stormy sea,
I take my cross and follow Him, Wherever He leadeth me.
[chorus]

My heart, my life, my all I bring To Christ who loves me so;
He is my Master, Lord, and King, Wherever He leads I'll go
[chorus]
