Sheet music
- 1I heard the voice of Jesus say,“Come unto Me and rest;Lay down, thou weary one, lay downThy 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.
- 2I heard the voice of Jesus say,“Behold, I freely giveThe living water: thirsty one,Stoop down, and drink, and live.”I came to Jesus and I drankOf that life giving stream:My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,And now I live in Him.
- 3I 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 came to Jesus and I foundIn Him my Star, my Sun;And in that light of life I’ll walkTill trav’ling days are done.
