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 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 the dawning 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 that light of life I’ll walk till trav’ling days are done.
