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.

O

how great Thy loving kindness

Vaster

broader than the sea!

O

how marvelous Thy goodness

Lavished all on me!

Yes

I rest in Thee

Belovèd

Know what wealth of grace is Thine

Know Thy certainty of promise

And have made it mine.

Refrain

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!

Refrain

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.

Refrain
