Edwin Hawkins - I Heard the Voice of Jesus Lyrics

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.

Take my yoke upon you

And learn of me

For my yoke is easy

And my burdens are light.

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; 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 traveling days are done.
