134. Softly Whisper

1 Softly whisper, “Jesus loves you!”
When a burden’s pressing sore
On a sad and drooping spirit,
It will cheer if nothing more.

Refrain:
Softly whisper, “Jesus loves you!”
It will drive away the gloom;
Softly whisper, “Jesus loves you!”
It will live beyond the tomb.

2 You can be a beauteous sunbeam,
You can read or sing or pray;
You can whisper, “Jesus loves you!”
When all hope has fled away, [Refrain]

3 Like the warblers in the treetops,
Like the flow’rets in the spring,
You can whisper, “Jesus loves you!”
It will faith and gladness bring. [Refrain]

4 Seeds of kindness freely scattered
Are remembered by the Lord;
Whisper softly, “Jesus loves you!”
It will bring a rich reward. [Refrain]
