Lyrics I Heard the Voice of Jesus - Edwin Hawkins Singers

I heard the voice of Jesus say
"Come unto me and rest
Lay down, o weary one, lay down
Thy head upon my breast"

I heard the voice of Jesus say
"Come unto me and rest
Lay down, o weary one, lay down
Thy 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

Take my yoke upon you
And learn of me
For my yoke is easy
And my burdens are light
And my burdens are light

Take my yoke upon you
And let them be
For my yoke is easy
And my burdens are light
And my burdens are light

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

I heard the voice of Jesus say
"I am this dark world's light
Look unto me; thy 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

Take my yoke upon you
And let them be
For my yoke is easy
And my burdens are light
And my burdens are light

I heard the voice of Jesus say
"Come onto me and rest
Lay down, o weary one, lay down
Thy head upon my breast"

I heard the voice of Jesus say
"Come onto me and rest
Come onto me and rest
Come onto me and rest
Come onto me and rest"
