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 the 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.
