JESUS! I AM RESTING, RESTING
1. Jesus! I am
resting, resting,
In the joy of what
Thou art;
I am finding out
the greatness
Of Thy loving
heart.
Thou hast bid me
gaze upon Thee,
And Thy beauty
fills my soul,
For by Thy
transforming power,
Thou hast made me
whole.
Refrain
Jesus! I am
resting, resting,
In the joy of what
Thou art;
I am finding out
the greatness
Of Thy loving
heart.
2. Oh, how great
Thy loving kindness,
Vaster, broader
than the sea;
Oh, how marvelous Thy
goodness,
Lavished all on me!
Yes, I rest in
Thee, Beloved.
Know what wealth of
grace is Thine,
Know Thy certainty
of promise,
And have made it
mine.
3. Simply trusting
Thee, Lord Jesus,
I behold Thee as
Thou art,
And Thy love, so
pure, so changeless,
Satisfies my heart
-
Satisfies its
deepest longings,
Meets, supplies its
every need,
Compasseth me round
with blessings,
Thine is love
indeed.
4. Ever lift Thy
face upon me,
As I work and wait
for Thee,
Resting 'neath Thy
smile, Lord Jesus,
Earth's dark shadows
flee.
Brightness of my
Father's glory,
Sunshine of my
Father's face,
Keep me ever
trusting, resting,
Fill me with Thy
grace.
