Author: Horatius N. Bonar (1808-1889) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #540 (2008) 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,
so weary, 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 quenched, 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 travelling days are done. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Discipleship; Jesus Names and images for; Light; Rest; Water Scripture: Isaiah 28:12 Languages: English Tune Title: THE ROWAN TREE
