1
My Saviour, Thou hast offered rest:
Oh, give it then, to me;
The rest of ceasing from myself,
To find my all in Thee.
Refrain:
Resting, I am resting,
I Thyself would prove;
Resting, I am resting,
Feasting on Thy love.
2
This cruel self oh, how it strives
And works within my breast,
To come between Thee and my soul,
And keep me back from rest.
[Refrain]
3
Now many subtle forms it takes
Of seeming verity,
As if it were not safe to rest
And venture all on Thee.
[Refrain]
4
O Lord, I seek a holy rest,
A vict’ry over sin!
I seek that Thou alone shouldst reign,
O’er all without, within.
[Refrain]
5
In Thy strong hand I lay me down,
So shall the work be done,
For who can work so wondrously
As the Almighty One?
[Refrain]
