| |
| 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, | 5 |
| 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 | 10 |
| 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 quench’d, my soul reviv’d, | 15 |
| 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. | 20 |
| I look’d 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. | |
