Hymn 245 - "I heard the voice of Jesus say,"

 

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. 

 

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: 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.
