I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

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 restingplace,
And he has made me glad.

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.

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.
