THE VOICE OF JESUS.

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.

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 traveling days are done.
