Jesus Whispers

I thought of another hymn that I did not list as one that every time I sing it, tames my fears. Jesus Whispers is one of my favorite hymns, and is probably a lesser known hymn that many people probably don't know. Joseph Hart wrote the hymn; his most famous hymn was probably Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy. The chorus is just beautiful, it makes me smile and revel in the truth of the Gospel each time I sing it. I will post the entire hymn below for your edification, and see if maybe some of your fears are tamed by it as well.


Lamb of God we fall before Thee
Humbly trusting in Thy cross
That alone be all our glory
All things else are vain and loss.

Thee we own a perfect Savior
Only source of all that's good
Every grace and every favor
Come to us through Jesus' blood.

Jesus whispers this sweet sentence
"Son thy sins are all forgiven."
Faith He gives us to believe,
Hearing ears and seeing eyes.

When we live on Jesus' merits
Then we worship God aright,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Then we savingly unite.

Hear the whole conclusion of it,
Great or good whate're we call
God, or King, or Priest, or Prophet,
Jesus Christ is all in all.
