Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,234 hymnals 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 traveling days are done. Topics: Calling; Coming to Christ; Communion Service; Conversion; Invitation; God or Christ as Light; Peace and Rest; Profession of Faith; Christ as Prophet; Voice of Jesus; Water of Life Used With Tune: RESTING PLACE
