The Voice Of Jesus

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,
Stop 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 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 days 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.
