On Thee My Heart is Resting

Author: Rev. Theod. Monod Hymnal: Christian Endeavor Hymns #24 (1894) First Line: On Thee my heart is resting! Lyrics: 1 On Thee my heart is resting! Ah, this is rest indeed! What else, Almighty Saviour, Can a poor sinner need? Thy light is all my wisdom, Thy love is all my stay: Our Father’s home in glory Draws nearer every day. Refrain: On Thee my heart is resting, Ah, this is rest indeed: What else, almighty Saviour, Can a poor sinner need? 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. [Refrain] 3 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. [Refrain] Topics: Peace and Rest Languages: English Tune Title: [On Thee my heart is resting]

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "On Thee my heart is resting!" in Praise Songs In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
