Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Christ in Song #359 (1908) Hymnal Title: Christ in Song First Line: I heard the voice of Jesus say 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 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 days be bright."
I look'd to Jesus, and I found
In him my star, my sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk,
Till all my journey's done.
