I heard the voice of Jesus say

1

I heard the voice of Jesus say,"Come unto me and rest;Lay down, thou weary one, lay downThy 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 giveThe living water; thirsty one,Stoop down, and drink, and live."I came to Jesus, and I drankOf 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 foundIn him my star, my sun;And in that light of life I'll walk,Till all my journey's done.
