Hymn 322: I heard the voice of Jesus say

Mo gbohun Jesu t’ o wipe

  1. I heard the voice of Jesus say,
    “Come unto me and rest;
    Lay down, O weary one, lay down
    Your head upon my breast.”
    I came to Jesus as I was,
    So weary, worn, and sad;
    I found him in a resting place,
    And he has 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; your morn shall rise,
    And all your 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. Amen.
