Text:

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest.
Lay down, if overloaded, lay
your 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.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"See that 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.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am, for this world, light.
Look unto me; your morn shall rise,
that 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 trav'ling days are done.
