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 quench’d, my soul reviv’d

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 earthly days are done.
