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,
'til traveling days are done.
