I Heard the Voice of Jesus

1.

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,

So weary, worn and sad;

I found in him a resting place,

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 lifegiving stream;

My thirst was quenched, 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, 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 traveling days are done.
