Author: A. L. Waring Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #542 (1920) Lyrics: 1 My heart is resting, O my God,
I will give thanks and sing;
My heart is at the secret source
Of every precious thing.
2 Now the frail vessel Thou hast made,
No hand but Thine shall fill;
The waters of the earth have failed,
And I am thirsty still.
3 I thirst for springs of heavenly life,
And here all day they rise;
I seek the treasure of Thy love,
And close at hand it lies.
4 And a new song is in my mouth,
To long-loved music set;
Glory to Thee for all the grace
I have not tasted yet.
5 I have a heritage of joy,
That yet I must not see;
The hand that bled to make it mine
Is keeping it for me.
6 There is a certainty of love
That sets my heart at rest;
A calm assurance for to-day,
That to be poor is best;
7 A prayer, reposing on His truth,
Who hath made all things mine,
That draws my captive will to Him,
And makes it one with Thine. Topics: General Home and Personal Use Languages: English Tune Title: DUMMERSTON
