Jesus! I am resting, resting

lyricist: Jean Sophia Pigott
Composer: James Mountain

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.

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.

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.

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.
