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
F. E. Belden
1858 - 1945 Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project Author of "In the Shadow of the Cross" Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evangelist Billy Sunday. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan.
