   Words: Horatius Bonar

VERSE 1
  Em                      G    D         G    D      Em
I heard the voice of Jesus say, Come unto Me and rest;
    C                G        D        G    D       Em
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon My breast.
  G             D    G                   C   D
I came to Jesus as I was, weary and worn and sad;
  C              G       D          G      D       Em
I found in Him a resting place, and He has made me glad.
VERSE 2
  Em                      G    D         G    D      Em
I heard the voice of Jesus say, Behold, I freely give
    C                G    D          G         D          Em
The living water; thirsty one, stoop down, and drink, and live.
  G              D     G                     C    D
I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life giving stream;
   C                       G    D            G      D      Em
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in Him.
VERSE 3
  Em                      G    D         G          D      Em
I heard the voice of Jesus say, I am this dark world’s Light;
     C            G          D          G      D      Em
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, and all thy day be bright.
  G                D     G                     C  D
I looked to Jesus, and I found in Him my Star, my Sun;
    C                G         D          G         D        Em
And in that light of life I’ll walk, till traveling days are done.
VERSE 4
  Em                      G    D       G        D      Em
I heard the voice of Jesus say, My Father’s house above
     C             G       D          G      D      Em
Has many mansions; I’ve a place prepared for you in love.
  G              D       G                   C   D
I trust in Jesus—in that house, according to His word,
    C                 G          D       G    D        Em
Redeemed by grace, my soul shall live forever with the Lord.
