Hymn 38 - I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

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 quenched, my soul revived,

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 trav’ling days are done.
