Hymn 383
Jesus, I rest in Thee
Mo simi le Jesu
- Jesus, I rest in 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. - Thou Holy One of God!
The Father rests in thee,
And in the savour of that blood
Which speaks to him for me:
The curse is gone – in thee I'm blessed;
God rests in thee – in thee I rest. - The slave of sin and fear,
Thy truth my bondage broke;
My happy spirit loves to wear
Thy light and easy yoke:
Thy love, which fills my grateful breast,
Makes duty joy, and labour rest. - 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 possessed,
My soul shall know eternal rest. Amen.
