Written By Horatius Bonar
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, O weary one, lay down
Your 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, your morn shall rise,
And all your 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 traveling days are done.
