Simply Resting

Verse 1

There have been full many trials, There are many yet to be; In my path are slippery places That my eyes can never see; But I know the Lord, my keeper, He will hide me from all ill; And no danger can befall me If I’m resting in His will.

Chorus

So now I’m simply resting, So now I’m simply resting; And no danger can befall me While I’m resting in His will.

Verse 2

It may be that clouds will gather Till my skies are overcast; And the days to come be darker That the days already past; But I know the Lord is o’er me, And His face is shining still; And no darkness can appall me If I’m resting in His will.

Verse 3

Many joys of earth are fading, Even now before my gaze; I am reading oft and plainly That His ways are not my ways; But I know the Lord, my shepherd, Leads through pastures green and still; And He bids me walk beside Him, For I’m resting in His will.
