The Golden Sheaf ‎#149

149. Whisperings of Jesus

1 Not a sound invades the stillness,
Not a form invades the scene,
Save the voice of my Beloved,
And the person of my King.

Chorus:
Precious, gentle, holy Jesus!
Blessed Bridegroom of my heart,
In thy secret inner chamber
Thou wilt whisper what thou art.

2 And within those heav'nly places,
Calmly hushed in sweet repose,
There I drink with joy absorbing,
All the love thou wouldst disclose. [Chorus]

3 Wrapt in deep, adoring silence,
Jesus, Lord, I dare not move,
Lest I lose the smallest saying
Meant to catch the ear of love. [Chorus]

4 Rest, then, O my soul, contented,
Thou hast reached thy happy place,
In the bosom of thy Saviour,
Gazing up in his dear face. [Chorus]
