Jesus, I Am Resting, Resting

lyricist: Jean Pigott, 1876
Composer: James Mountain, 1876

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.

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.

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.
