108.  I Came To Jesus

1
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto me and rest;
Thy load of care thou mayst lay down
And be no more distressed.”
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad,
I found in him a resting place,
And he hath 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 and saw my star of hope,
My Sun of Righteousness.
O! soon ‘twill rise and fill the earth,
And all the nations bless.
