From sorrow, from toil, and from care;

For He all my burdens doth bear.

Oh, how happy am I,
With my Savior so nigh!
I have found sweet rest
On Jesus’ dear breast.

When burdened with guilt and with sin;
He cleansed me, and gave me His peace,
The Spirit to witness within. [Refrain]
3 Though 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. [Refrain]

For what Thou didst suffer for me;
For saving my soul when I came
And gave myself up unto Thee. [Refrain] Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Tune Title: [In Jesus I've found a sweet rest]
