Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #221 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: John 7:37 Lyrics: 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 trav'lling days are done.
Amen. Topics: Abiding in Christ; Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ The Light; Christ Prophetic Office of; Faith In Christ; Need for Christ or God; Promises; Rest; Voice of Jesus; Water of Life Languages: English Tune Title: VOX DILECTI
