This is my favorite tune for this song. It's called "The Star of the County Down". I first heard it done this way by Michael Card.

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

«E Minor»
1. I heard the voice of Jesus say,

"Come unto me and rest;

Lay down, O weary one, lay down

Your 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.



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 quenched, my soul revived,

And now I live in him.



3. I heard the voice of Jesus say,

"I am this dark world's light;

Look unto me, your 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.

1. I ‹Em›heard the voice of ‹G›Jesus ‹D›say,

"Come ‹G›unto ‹Am›me and ‹D›rest;

Lay ‹C›down, O ‹Am7›weary ‹G›one, lay ‹D›down

Your ‹G›head up‹Am›on my ‹Em›breast."

I ‹Bm›came to ‹Em›Jesus ‹Am›as I ‹G›was,

Weary and worn ‹C›and ‹D›sad;

I ‹C›found in ‹Am›Him a ‹G›resting ‹D›place,

And ‹G›He has ‹Am›made me ‹Em›glad.



2. I ‹Em›heard the voice of ‹G›Jesus ‹D›say,

"Beh‹G›old, I ‹Am›freely ‹D›give

The ‹C›living ‹Am7›water; ‹G›thirsty ‹D›one,

Stoop ‹G›down and ‹Am›drink, and ‹Em›live."

I ‹Bm›came to ‹Em›Jesus, ‹Am›and I ‹G›drank

My ‹C›thirst was ‹Am›quenched, my ‹G›soul rev‹D›ived,

And ‹G›now I ‹Am›live in ‹Em›him.

And ‹G›all your ‹Am›day be br‹Em›ight."

I ‹Bm›looked to ‹Em›Jesus ‹Am›and I ‹G›found

In him my Star, ‹C›my ‹D›Sun;

And ‹C›in that ‹Am›light of ‹G›life I'll ‹D›walk,

Till ‹G›traveling ‹Am›days are ‹Em›done.
