C.M.D. [919]Vox Dilecti: John Bacchus Dykes, 1868 Horatius Bonar, 1846 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. 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, 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. |
