150. Sweet Rest in Jesus

In Jesus I’ve found a sweet rest from sorrow, from toil, and from care; In him I am happy and blest, for he all my burdens doth bear.

Oh, how happy am I (happy am I, happy am I) with my Savior so nigh! (Savior so nigh, with my Savior so nigh!)  I have found sweet rest (found sweet rest, found sweet rest) on Jesus’ dear breast.

2.

I came to the Lord for release, when burdened with guilt and with sin; He cleans'd me, and gave me his peace, the Spirit to witness within.

Oh, how happy am I (happy am I, happy am I) with my Savior so nigh! (Savior so nigh, with my Savior so nigh!)  I have found sweet rest (found sweet rest, found sweet rest) on Jesus’ dear breast.

3.

Tho' many the troubles I meet, he’ll keep me, and help me along; I’ll sit at his glorified feet, for he is my joy and my song.

Oh, how happy am I (happy am I, happy am I) with my Savior so nigh! (Savior so nigh, with my Savior so nigh!)  I have found sweet rest (found sweet rest, found sweet rest) on Jesus’ dear breast.

4.

All glory and praise to thy name for what thou didst suffer for me; For saving my soul when I came and gave myself up unto thee.

Oh, how happy am I (happy am I, happy am I) with my Savior so nigh! (Savior so nigh, with my Savior so nigh!)  I have found sweet rest (found sweet rest, found sweet rest) on Jesus’ dear breast.
