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 quench’d, 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 trav’ling days are done.
H. Bonar, D. D.
Life wears a different face to me,
Since I found my Savior;
Rich mercy at the cross I see,
My dying, living Savior.
He sought me in His wondrous love,
So I found my Savior,
He brought salvation from above,
My dear, almighty Savior.
The passing clouds may intervene,
Since I found my Savior,
But He is with me, though unseen,
My ever present Savior.
A strong hand kindly holds my own,
Since I found my Savior,
It leads me onward to the throne,
O there I’ll see my Savior.
Chorus
Golden sunbeams ‘round me play,
Jesus turns my night to day,
Heaven seems not far away,
Since I found my Savior.
