I Heard the Voice of Jesus

1I 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.

2I 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 quench'd, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.

3I 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 all my journey's done.
