Christian Endeavor Hymns ‎#57

57. My Heart is Resting

1 My heart is resting, O my God,
I will give thanks and sing;
My heart is at the secret source
Of every precious thing.

2 Now the frail vessel Thou hast made
No hand but Thine shall fill—
The waters of the Earth have failed,
And I am thirsty still.

3 I thirst for springs of heav'nly life,
And here all day they rise;
I seek the treasure of Thy love,
And close at hand it lies.

4 And a “new song” is in my mouth,
To long-loved music set—
Glory to Thee for all the grace
I have not tasted yet!

5 I have a heritage of joy
That yet I must not see;
The hand that bled to make it mine
Is keeping it for me.
