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 days on earth are done.
