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 days 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 travelling days are done.
