I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

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; 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.
