On Thee My Heart Is Resting

Verse 1

On Thee my heart is resting! Ah, this is rest indeed! What else, Almighty Saviour, Can a poor sinner need? Thy light is all my wisdom, Thy love is all my stay: Our Father’s home in glory Draws nearer every day.

Chorus

On Thee my heart is resting, Ah, this is rest indeed: What else, almighty Saviour, Can a poor sinner need?

Verse 2

My guilt is great, but greater The mercy Thou dost give; Thyself, a spotless Off’ring, Hast died that I should live. With Thee, my soul unfettered, Has risen from the dust; Thy blood is all my treasure, Thy Word is all my trust.

Verse 3

When clouds are darkest round me, Thou, Lord, art then most near, My drooping faith to quicken, My weary soul to cheer. Safe nestling in Thy bosom, I gaze upon Thy face; In vain my foes would drive me From Thee, my hiding-place.
