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 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 travelling days are done. |
