| 1. | 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 has 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 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. |
| 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. |
