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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WALDEINSAMKEIT by RALPH WALDO EMERSON TO THE VIRGINS, TO MAKE MUCH OF TIME by ROBERT HERRICK LOST AND FOUND by GEORGE MACDONALD GOD SAVE THE NATION! by THEODORE TILTON DRINKING; PARAPHRASED by ANACREON LILIES: 18.
