This hymn has a unique tune

 

 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 trav'lling days are done.
