Words: Horatius Bonar, 1846. The original title was "The Voice from Galilee."
Music: "Vox Delicti," John Bacchus Dykes, 1868.
The key change halfway through accents the positive message of the last two lines, "I came to Jesus..."
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.
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 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 traveling days are done.

The Teacher asks: "Where is My guest room...?'" Mark 14:14
The Teacher was Jesus,
Christ is still asking the same question: Where is My room? And in the home of ourlife, we answer Him.
Your room is the foyer, where all who enter will know You are present in this home.
Your room is the kitchen, for You are our provision and our source of strength.
Your room is the family room, where You are the center of our family, our fellowship, our friendships and our entertainment.
Your room is the bedroom, where we rest, secure in the knowledge of your protection.
Your room is the study, for all knowledge begins and ends in You.
Your room is the tool closet, for all my works of service are in vain, if they do not start with You.
Your room is even the deck out back, where You can watch Your sunset over Your creation and remind us each day that all You have created is indeed very good.
We give Him our whole house.
