The Voice of Thanksgiving No. 2 ‎#9

9. My Heart is Resting, O My God

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

Refrain:
O peace of God that passeth thought,
I daily, hourly sing,
My heart is at the secret source
Of ev’ry precious thing.

2 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. [Refrain]

3 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! [Refrain]

4 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. [Refrain]

5 There is a certainty of love,
That sets my heart at rest;
A calm assurance for today
That what Thou dost is best. [Refrain]
