Resting

Verse 1

Resting on the faithfulness of Christ our Lord; Resting on the fulness of His own sure word; Resting on His wisdom, on His love and power; Resting on His covenant from hour to hour.

Verse 2

Resting ‘neath His guiding hand for untrack’d days; Resting ‘neath His shadow from the noontide rays; Resting at the eventide, beneath His wing, In the fair pavilion of our Saviour King.

Verse 3

Resting in the fortress while the foe is nigh; Resting in the lifeboat while the waves roll high; Resting in His chariot for the swift, glad race; Resting, always resting, in His boundless grace.

Verse 4

Resting in the pastures, and beneath the Rock; Resting by the waters where He leads His flock; Resting, while we listen at His glorious feet; Resting in His arms of love—oh, rest complete!

Verse 5

Resting and believing, let us onward press; Resting on Himself, “the Lord our Righteousness!” Resting and rejoicing, let His saved ones sing— “Glory, glory, glory be to Christ our King!”
