On Thee my heart is resting (Hymn 581)

Verse 1: On Thee my heart is resting, Ah, this is rest indeed: What else, Almighty Savior, Can a poor sinner need? Thy light is all my wisdom, Thy love is all my stay; Thy coming back in glory, Draws nearer every day. Verse 2: My guilt is great, but greater The mercy Thou dost give; Thyself, a spotless Off'ring, Hast died that I should live. With Thee, my soul unfettered Has risen from the dust; Thy blood is all my treasure, Thy word is all my trust. Verse 3: Through me, Thou gentle Master, Thy purposes fulfil; I yield myself forever To Thy most holy will. What though I be but weakness? My strength is not in me; The poorest of Thy people Has all things, having Thee. Verse 4: When clouds are darkest round me, Thou, Lord, art then most near, My drooping faith to quicken, My weary soul to cheer. Safe nestling in Thy bosom, I gaze upon Thy face; In vain my foes would drive me From Thee, my hiding-place. Verse 5: ’Tis Thou hast made me happy, ’Tis Thou hast set me free; To whom shall I give glory Forever, but to Thee? Of earthly love and blessing Should every stream run dry, Thy grace shall still be with me, Thy grace, to live and die.
