74. 'Tis Sweet to Rest My Faith on Thee

1 When toss'd on life's tempestuous tide,
'Midst dang'rous shoals on ev'ry side,
'Tis sweet to calmly rest on thee,
Thou lamb of God! who died for me.

Refrain:
Oh, Lamb of God! Oh, Lamb of God!
Slain for my sins on Calvary,
'Tis sweet to rest my faith on thee,
Since thou hast done so much for me.

2 Amid the winds the tempests rage,
May thoughts of thee my soul engage,
No other hand can guide my feet,
No other name is half so sweet. [Refrain]

3 And when I hear the further shore,
When earthly trials all are o'er,
May I with heaven's blood-wash'd band,
Around the throne in glory stand. [Refrain]
