I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

I heard the voice of Jesus Say,—

'Come unto me and rest;

Lay down thy weary one, lay down

Thy head upon my breast!'

I came to Jesus as I was

Weary, and worn and sad;

I found him in a resting place,

And he hath 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 worlds 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 travelling days are done.

Amen.
