Chords for I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say #147

This next hymn is titled, I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say.
This hymn is by the well-known hymn writer, Horatius Bonar,
and was published in 1846.
_ Bonar was a Scottish pastor who was concerned
that children were not learning
the metrical psalms well enough.
To fill this need, he wrote over 600 hymns.
The music to this hymn was provided by Riff Vaughan Williams,
the famous British composer.
While hearing an ancient medieval melody in Sussex, England,
the famous composer chose this melody
to set Bonar's lyrics to.
This arrangement was published [E] in 1906.
The words help us find comfort
