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 trav’lling days are done.
