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 life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, 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 traveling days are done.
