Resting on the faithfulness of Christ our Lord,
|
|
| 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 |
| | pow'r, |
| | Resting on His covenant from hour to hour. |
| 2. | Resting 'neath His guiding hand for untrack'd |
| | days, |
| | Resting 'neath His shadow from noontide rays, |
| | Resting at the eventide beneath His wing, |
| | In the glorious presence of our Savior King. |
| 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. |
| 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 very arms, oh, rest complete! |
| 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! |
