I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

Verse 1

I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto Me and rest; Lay down, O 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.

Verse 2

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 quench'd, my soul revived, And now I live in him.

Verse 3

I heard the voice of Jesus say, “I am this dark world’s Light; Look unto me, your morn shall rise, And all your 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'ling days are done.
