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 !
