Jesus, I rest in thee ( 296 )

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 savor of that blood
Which speaks to Him for me,
The curse is gone-through Thee I’m blest!
God rests in Thee-in Thee I rest.

The slave of sin and fear,
Thy truth my bondage broke;
My willing spirit loves to bear
Thy light and easy yoke;
The love that fills my grateful breast
Makes duty joy, and labor 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!

Thou Holy One Of God ( 30 )

Thou holy one of God,
Glorified in Thy cross,
He owns the value of that blood
Which speaks to Him for us.
The curse is gone, through Thee we’re blest,
God rests in Thee–in Thee we rest.

Soon the bright glorious day,
The rest of God, shall come,
Sorrow and sin shall pass away,
And we shall reach our home.
Then of the promised joy possessed,
Our souls shall know eternal rest.

O God Of Matchless Grace ( 189 )

O God of matchless grace,
We sing unto Thy name!
We stand accepted in the place
That none but Christ could claim.
Our willing hearts have heard Thy voice,
And in Thy mercy we rejoice.

‘Tis meet that Thy delight
Should center in Thy Son!
That Thou shouldst place us in Thy sight,
In Him, Thy Holy One!
Thy perfect love has cast out fear,
Thy favor shines upon us here!

Eternal is our rest,
O Christ of God, in Thee!
Now of Thy peace, Thy joy possessed,
We wait Thy face to see;
Now to the Father’s heart received,
We know in whom we have believed.
