I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say | |
Horatius Bonar, 1846
| 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. | 2. 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. |
| 3. 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 Till traveling days are done. |
