Light and Life Songs ‎#76

76. Jesus, I Rest in Thee

1 Jesus, the Lamb, slain for my guilt,
Sprinkle with atoning blood and purge me from sin;
Weary I’ve been, burdened and sad,
Soothe my troubled spirit, make me holy within.

Chorus:
Brighter far than all the sons of the morning art Thou,—
Fill me with Thy Spirit as to Thy will I bow;
Leaning my head upon Thy breast,
An eternal weight of glory brings sweetest rest.

2 Jesus, my King, my chosen King,
Beautify for Thee to dwell in this heart of mine;
Curtained with white, furnished with gold,
Fill the place of Thine abode with glory divine. [Chorus]

3 Lord of my heart, lover divine,
Bid me to Thy banquet, own me Thy chosen bride;
Filled with Thy love, Heaven is mine,—
Hallelujah! untold rapture! bliss at thy side. [Chorus]
