Hymn Chords

465. I Heard the Voice of Jesus

Am          F     G7 C  Am  G
I heard the voice of Je-sus say,

G7    C    Dm F   Gsus G
“Come unto Me and rest;

C   F2    F    Dm7 G  C    D7  G
Lay down, thou wea-ry one, lay down

G7  C       Dm    Am
Thy head up-on My breast.”

Am Em      Am C   Dm G C
I  came to Je-sus as I was,

C              F   Gsus G
Weary and worn and sad;

C F2       Dm    C    Am7 G
I found in Him a rest-ing place,

G7  C  Em  Dm      Am
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.
