Lyrics

O my heart is thrilled with wondrous joy today,
I am resting in the Savior’s love;
Christ the Lord has taken all my sins away,
I am resting in the Savior’s love.

Refrain

I am resting, sweetly resting,
I am resting in the Savior’s love,
I am resting, sweetly resting,
I am resting in the Savior’s love,

At the fountain opened for the soul unclean,
I am resting in the Savior’s love;
Trusting in His grace, I freely ventured in,
I am resting in the Savior’s love.

Refrain

All my doubts are vanished, all my foes are gone,
I am resting in the Savior’s love;
When I trusted Jesus, lo! the work was done,
I am resting in the Savior’s love.

Refrain

So I live rejoicing in His love today,
I am resting in the Savior’s love;
I am walking with Him in the narrow way,
I am resting in the Savior’s love.
