432DCM
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 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.
 
Horatius Bonar, 1808-89
