26*. I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

C.M.D.
by H. Bonar
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,
 
Weary, and 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 life-giving 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.
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.” (Revelation 22:16)
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
