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 traveling days be done.
