  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,

    As 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.

  2. O how great thy lovingkindness,

    Vaster, broader than the sea!

    O 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.
