The Voice of My Saviour
Author: A. H. Ackley
Page 297 in Zion's Praises
http://www.clp.org/product/zions_praises_756

Soft and low, soft and low, is the voice that I hear,
Like a murmuring zephyr of spring;
To my heart, to my heart, it brings comfort and cheer,
'Tis the voice of Christ Jesus my King.

Chorus:
O the voice of my Saviour no tongue can describe,
On earth or in heaven above;
So entrancingly sweet, and with joy so replete,
Is the voice of my Saviour's great love.

When He speaks, when He speaks, O how gentle the tone,
Every accent is tender and mild;
Every word, every word, has a charm all its own,
Like a mother's kind voice to her child.

"Come to Me, come to Me," Jesus lovingly calls,
In His sheltering arms I find rest;
Perfect peace, perfect peace, all my being enthralls,
With an infinite calm I am blest.

I remember this hymn from the mid 60's, but only remember portions of it.
Can someone help fill in the blanks for me? Better yet, if someone has a pdf.

Soft and low, soft and low, is the voice that I hear

To my heart, to my heart......

Thanks and God bless,
Curls
