O bless­èd rest in Je­sus!
There’s no oth­er half so sweet
As the peace He free­ly gives me
When I tar­ry at His feet.
There I tell the sins that grieve me,
And His tones like dew­drops fall;
Fear ye not, for I’ve re­deemed thee,
There is cleans­ing for them all.

Refrain

O bless­èd, bless­èd rest!
Leaning on His lov­ing breast,
When I’m heart to heart with Je­sus,
What a bless­èd, bless­èd rest!

O bless­èd rest in Je­sus!
Let me lin­ger at His side
While I tell Him all my sor­rows,
And my joys to Him con­fide.
He will ne­ver, ne­ver wea­ry,
For He waits to an­swer pray­er
And He whis­pers that He loves me,
That He car­eth for my care.

Refrain

O bless­èd rest in Je­sus!
How it cheers me, day by day!
For He strength­ens me for du­ty,
And for ser­vice, by the way.
And He tells me of the ci­ty
Where they need no star, no sun;
There He’ll give me joy­ful wel­come,
When my earth­ly work is done.

Refrain
