RESTING on the faithfulness of Christ our Lord; Resting on the fulness of His own sure word; Resting on His power, on His love untold; Resting on His covenant secured of old. Resting 'neath His guiding hand for untracked days; Resting 'neath His guiding hand for untracked days; Resting 'neath His shadow from the noon-tide rays; Resting at the eventide beneath His wing, In the fair pavilion of our Saviour King. Resting in the fortress while the foe is nigh; Resting in the lifeboat while the waves roll high; Resting in His chariot for the swift glad race; Resting, always resting in His boundless grace. Resting in the pastures, and beneath the Rock; Resting by the waters where He leads His flock; Resting, while we listen, at His glorious feet; Resting in His very arms! -- O rest complete! Resting and believing, let us onward press, Resting in Himself, the Lord our Righteousness; Resting and rejoicing, let His saved ones sing, Glory, glory, glory be to Christ our King! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SUICIDE by EDNA ST.
