In the shadow of the cross
I am resting, sweetly resting
Author: F. E. B. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1200 (1886) Hymnal Title: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book First Line: I am resting in the shadow Lyrics: 1 I am resting in the shadow
Of the cross of Calvary;
Long I shunned its shade inviting,
Now so grateful unto me.
Worldly gain and worldly pleasure
Once declared my joy to be
Are eclipsed beyond all measure
While my dying Lord I see.
Refrain:
I am resting, sweetly resting:
'Tis the safest place for me
To be resting in the shadow
Of the cross of Calvary.
2 O 'twere hard thro' all life's journey,
Tolling 'neath a burning sun,
Hard to think no rest is offered
Till the long, long day is done.
Hush! my heart, there is a solace,
'Tis this precious thought to me:
I will kneel, and rest a moment
In the shade of Calvary. [Refrain]
3 Rest is sweet to pilgrims weary,
Earnest toil brings calm repose;
They who wait for days' declining,
Find no pleasure at its close.
Rest not, then, though but a moment,
In the shade that self may cast:
Lift the cross, and in its shadow
Find eternal rest at last. [Refrain] Topics: Special Department Bible Songs Scripture: Isaiah 32:1 Tune Title: IN THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS
I am resting, sweetly resting
