I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say ... (Anthony Way)
"I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say"
by Horatius Bonar, 1808-1899
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 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.
