Lyrics
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto Me and rest;
Lay down thy weary one, lay down
thy head upon my breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was,
weary, worn, and sad;
I found Him in 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, my 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.
