COMING TO CHRIST
- I heard the voice of Jesus Say,—
'Come unto me and rest;
Lay down thy weary one, lay down
Thy head upon my breast!' - I came to Jesus as I was
Weary, and worn and sad;
I found him in a resting place,
And he hath 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 quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him. - I heard the voice of Jesus say,—
'I am this dark worlds 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 travelling days are done.
Amen.
78 | My God, Accept My Heart This Day | ||||
(EVAN ) | |||||

- My God, accept my heart this day,
And make it always thine;
That I from thee no more may stray,
No more from thee decline.
- Before the cross of him who died,
Behold, I prostrate fall;
Let every sin be crucified,
Let Christ be All in All.
- Let every thought, and work, and word,
To thee be ever given;
Then life shall be thy service, Lord,
And death the gate of heaven.
