- CCCXCIV I Heard The Voice Of JESUS Say,
CCCXCIV 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,
I am this dark world's light,
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright.
I look'd 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.
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.
