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,

I am this dark world's light,

Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,

And all thy day be bright.

I look'd to JESUS, and I found

In Him my Star, my Sun;

And in that light of life I'll walk,

Till travelling days are done.

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.
