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

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

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 travelling days are done
