I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

Lyrics: Horatio Bonar

Music: Kingsfold

I heard the voice of Jesus say,

“Come unto me and rest;

lay down, you weary one, lay down

your head upon my chest.”

I came to Jesus as I was,

so weary, worn, and sad;

I found in him a resting place,

and he has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,

“Behold, I freely give

the living water; thirsty one,

bow 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.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,

“I am this dark world’s light;

look unto me, your 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.
