I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say is a hymn by Horatius Bonar, the text was written around 1846. The text has been paired with the tune KINGSFOLD, which is an early English folk melody that sounds similar to Star of County Down, and its in a minor key. I recorded the vocal track for this piece in 2012. From Hymnary: Thought by some scholars to date back to the Middle Ages, KINGSFOLD is a folk tune set to a variety of texts in England and Ireland. The tune was published in English Country Songs (1893), an anthology compiled by Lucy E. Broadwood and J. A. Fuller Maitland. After having heard the tune in Kingsfold, Sussex, England (thus its name), Ralph Vaughan Williams (PHH 316) introduced it as a hymn tune in The English Hymnal (1906) as a setting for Horatius Bonar's "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say" (488). Shaped in classic rounded bar form (AABA), KINGSFOLD has modal character and is both dignified and strong. It is well suited to either unison or harmony singing. Use bright organ tone. Try playing on two manuals and pedal on the middle stanzas. --Psalter Hymnal Handbook
