233. Rest in Him

Are you weary, heavy laden? Come and lay your burdens down. Jesus calls you, Jesus draws you; rest in him. He is gentle, he is lowly, he delights to bring us peace. Tender shepherd, mighty Savior, rest in him.

How sure, his compassion for us, O, how deep is his love, So come, come to Jesus, and rest in him.

Are you hopeless, are you guilty, Caught in shame for all your sin? He pursues you, to forgive you; rest in him. He has paid for ev'ry failure, mercy flows in endless streams. Come and follow, freedom calls you: rest in him.

How sure, his compassion for us, O, how deep is his love, So come, come to Jesus, and rest in him.

Are you waiting in your sorrows for this broken world to heal? He is coming, soon returning; rest in him. We will see him, we will know him, O, what heights of grace revealed: From his kindness, ev'ry promise then fulfilled.

How sure, his compassion for us, O, how deep is his love, So come, come to Jesus, and rest in him.
