H. Bonar (582/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

H. Bonar 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.
