I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,261 hymnals Topics: Coming to Christ Lyrics: 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. 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 quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him. 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 traveling days are done.

I see thy cross -- there teach my heart to cling: oh, let me seek thee, and oh, let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh: teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh: teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame -- the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.
