I'm Sweetly Resting

Representative Text

1 I’m rest­ing by my Sav­ior’s side,
I have no doubt, no fear;
With grace my needs are all sup­plied,
And I’m con­tent­ed here.

Refrain:
I’m sweet­ly rest­ing, safe from harm,
By my dear Sav­ior’s side;
No storms or foes my soul alarm,
For aye I’ll here ab­ide.

2 I feel no dread of sin­ful foes,
For when they would come nigh,
My Sav­ior all their strength o’er­throws,
And they must pass me by. [Refrain]

3 The migh­ty storms so fierce and wild
Can give me no un­rest,
For Je­sus says: "Come near, my child,
Still near­er to My breast!" [Refrain]
