An "inward-looking" hymn, Horatius Bonar's (1808-1889) "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say" contains three verses, with each referencing a statement made by Jesus, followed by a personal response. Verse 1 alludes to Matthew 11:2830 ("Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest"), with the personal response "I came to Jesus as I was." Verse 2 alludes to John 4:1014, where Jesus offers living water to the woman at the well, with the response "I came to Jesus and I drank." Verse 3 alludes to John 8:12 ("I am the light of the world"), with the response "I looked to Jesus and I found in Him my Star, my Sun."
In this arrangement for SATB voices and organ, Bonar's text is set to the THIRD MODE MELODY (or THE THIRD TUNE), one of nine Tunes for Archbishop Parker's Psalter (1567) written by the English composer Thomas Tallis (1505-1585). In each verse, the saying of Jesus is sung in unison (v. 1, solo or unison women; v. 2, unison men; v. 3, mostly unison by all voices), and the personal response is fully harmonized.
