Jesus, I rest on Thee

1.

Jesus, I rest on Thee

In Thee myself I hide

Laden with guilt and misery

Where can I rest beside?

’Tis on Thy meek and lowly breast

My weary souls alone can rest

2.

Thou Holy One of God

The Father rests in Thee

The voice of Thy atoning blood

Pleads evermore for me

The curse is gone through Thee I’m blest

God rest in Thee, in Thee I rest

3.

The slave of sin and fear

Thy truth my bondage broke

And now my spirit loves to wear

Thy light and easy yoke

The love which fills my grateful breast

Makes duty joy and labour rest

4.

Soon the bright glorious day

The rest of God, shall Come

Sorrow and sin shall pass away

And I shall reach my home

Then of the promised land possess’d

My soul shall know eternal rest
