I Heard the Voice of Jesus
Horatius Bonar – I Heard the Voice of Jesus
Lyrics
Verse 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, so weary, worn and sad; I found in him a resting place, and he has made me glad. Verse 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. Verse 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.
