I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

I heard the voice of Je­sus say

Come un­to Me and rest;

Lay down

thou wea­ry one

lay down

Thy head up­on My breast.

I came to Je­sus as I was

Weary and worn and sad;

I found in Him a rest­ing place

And He has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Je­sus say

Behold

I free­ly give

The liv­ing wa­ter; thirs­ty one

Stoop down

and drink

and live.

I came to Je­sus

and I drank

Of that life giv­ing stream;

My thirst was quenched

my soul re­vived

And now I live in Him.

I heard the voice of Je­sus say

I am this dark world’s light;

Look un­to Me

thy morn shall rise

And all thy day be bright.

I looked to Je­sus

and I found

In Him my star

my sun;

And in that light of life I’ll walk

Till tra­vel­ing days are done.

I heard the voice of Je­sus say

My Fa­ther’s house ab­ove

Has ma­ny man­sions; I’ve a place

Prepared for you in love.

I trust in Je­sus—in that house

According to His word

Redeemed by grace

my soul shall live

Forever with the Lord.
