-<poem>
-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 trav’ling days are done.
