Author: Isaiah Baltzell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12745 First Line: O Jesus, Savior, I long to rest Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Savior, I long to rest Near the cross where Thou hast died; For there is hope for the aching breast, At the cross I will abide.

[Refrain] 3 O Jesus, Savior, now make me Thine, Never let me stray from Thee; Oh, wash me, cleanse me, for Thou art mine, And Thy love is full and free.
