this is one of the most beautiful hymns i've ever heard...(i changed the words a little bit)
Jesus, i am resting, resting, in the joy of what You are; i am finding out the greatness Of Your loving heart. You have bid me gaze upon You, And Your beauty fills my soul, For by Your transforming power, You have made me whole.
O, how great Your loving kindness, vaster, broader than the sea! O, how marvelous Your goodness, lavished all on me! Yes, I rest in You, Belovèd, know what wealth of grace is Thine, know Your certainty of promise, And have made it mine.
Simply trusting You, Lord Jesus, i behold You as You are, And Your love, so pure, so changeless, Satisfies my heart; Satisfies its deepest longings, meets, supplies its every need, surrounded by Your blessings: You are love indeed!
Ever lift Your face upon me as i work and wait for You; resting ’neath Your smile, Lord Jesus, Earth’s dark shadows flee. Brightness of my Father’s glory, Sunshine of my Father’s face, Keep me ever trusting, resting, Fill me with Your grace.
As it was written by Jean S. Pigot in 1876:
Jesus, I am resting, resting,In the joy of what Thou art;I am finding out the greatnessOf Thy loving heart.Thou hast bid me gaze upon Thee,And Thy beauty fills my soul,For by Thy transforming power,Thou hast made me whole.
O, how great Thy loving kindness,Vaster, broader than the sea!O, how marvelous Thy goodness,Lavished all on me!Yes, I rest in Thee, Belovèd,Know what wealth of grace is Thine,Know Thy certainty of promise,And have made it mine.
Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus,I behold Thee as Thou art,And Thy love, so pure, so changeless,Satisfies my heart;Satisfies its deepest longings,Meets, supplies its every need,Compasseth me round with blessings:Thine is love indeed!
Ever lift Thy face upon meAs I work and wait for Thee;Resting ’neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus,Earth’s dark shadows flee.Brightness of my Father’s glory,Sunshine of my Father’s face,Keep me ever trusting, resting,Fill me with Thy grace
