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 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 mom 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.
