GRH 391 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 come to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting place,
And He had made me glad.

(2)
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
‘I am this dark world’s light;
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,
‘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 trav’ling days are done.
