225: I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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 traveling days are done.
