Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #298 (1970) Lyrics: 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.
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 quench'd, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.
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 trav'ling days are done.
