Hymn 248 — I heard the voice of Jesus say,
| 248 | H. BONAR (1808-1889) | C.M.D. |
| 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 travelling days are done. | |
