Hymn Chords

465. I Heard the Voice of Jesus

Em          C     D7 G  Em  D
I heard the voice of Je-sus say,

D7    G    Am C   Dsus D
“Come unto Me and rest;

G   C2    C    Am7 D  G    A7  D
Lay down, thou wea-ry one, lay down

D7  G       Am    Em
Thy head up-on My breast.”

Em Bm      Em G   Am D G
I  came to Je-sus as I was,

G              C   Dsus D
Weary and worn and sad;

G C2       Am    G    Em7 D
I found in Him a rest-ing place,

D7  G  Bm  Am      Em
And He has made me glad.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
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.

[Verse 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 quench’d, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.

[Verse 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 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.
