I heard the voice of Jesus say

by Horatius Bonar

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 465.

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, Weary and 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 quench’d, 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’ling days are done.
