I heard the voice of Jesus say
Come unto Me and rest
Lay down, O 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, your morn shall rise
And all your 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 trav'ling days are done
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my Star, my Sun
And in that Light of life I’ll walk
Till trav'ling days are done
