Sweet Rest in Jesus

In Je­sus I’ve found a sweet rest

From sor­row

from toil

and from care;

In Him I am hap­py and blest

For He all my bur­dens doth bear.

Oh

how hap­py am I

With my Sav­ior so nigh;

I have found sweet rest

On Je­sus’ dear breast.

I came to the Lord for re­lease

When bur­dened with guilt and with sin;

He cleansed me and gave me His peace

The Spir­it to wit­ness with­in.

Though ma­ny the trou­bles I meet—

He’ll keep me and help me along;

I’ll sit at His glo­ri­fied feet

For He is my joy and my song.

All glo­ry and praise to Thy name;

For what Thou didst suf­fer for me;

For sav­ing my soul when I came

And gave myself up un­to Thee.
