I heard the voice of Jesus say by Alastair Stout — 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.

About I heard the voice of Jesus say
Alastair Stout has set the familiar words of the hymn I heard the voice of Jesus say for SATB choir. The text, which draws on biblical imagery of Jesus offering rest and living water to the weary soul, is given a thoughtful and devotional treatment. Stout's setting in English is designed to be accessible for a range of church choirs, offering a comforting and uplifting anthem. The piece encourages reflection on themes of spiritual refreshment and the solace found in faith. Its direct and heartfelt expression makes it a suitable choice for services and concerts seeking to convey a message of peace and renewal.
