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.

 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'lling days are done.
