Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.635
First Line: Jesus ! I am resting, resting,
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.
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 marvellous 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 !
