I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say


Week 1 – PRONOUNCEMENT:

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

– Horatius Bonar (hymn; 1846)

 

I heard the voice of Jesus say,

“Come unto Me and rest;
lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary worn and sad;
I found Him in 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 I live in Him.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this dark world’s light;
look unto me; your morn shall rise,
and all your day be bright.”
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in Him my star, my sun;
and in the light of life I’ll walk
till traveling days are done.
