Hymn 584 – JESUS, I rest on Thee | C&S English Hymnary

1. JESUS, I rest on Thee In Thee myself I hide Laden with guilt and misery Where can I rest beside? ‘Tis on Thy meek and lowly breast My weary soul alone can rest. 2. Thou Holy One of God The Father rests in Thee The voice of Thy atoning blood Pleads evermore for me. The curse is gone: through Thee I’m blest God rest in thee, in Thee I rest. 3. The slave of sin and fear Thy truth my bondage broke And now my spirit loves to wear Thy light and easy yoke The love which fills my grateful breast Makes duty joy labour rest. 4. Soon the bright glorious day The rest of God, shall come Sorrow and sin shall pass away And I shall reach my home Then of the promised land possess’d My soul shall know eternal rest AMEN
