THE VOICE FROM GALILEE.
Reading edition
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. —Horatius Bonar.
