1 While wayworn and weary, I journey along,
Dear Savior, Thy love is the theme of my song;
Thy smile is my beacon, as onward I move;
Thy cross is my shelter — I rest in thy love.
Chorus:
I rest in Thy love, yes, rest in thy love,
Tho’ wayworn and weary, I rest in thy love,
Rest in Thy love, yes, rest in Thy love.
2 While burden'd with sorrow, and laden with woe,
Dear Savior, to Thee, 'neath thy cross will I go;
I think of thy sorrow and anguish for me,
And yield at thy bidding, my sorrows to thee. [Chorus]
3 While struggling for thee in the heat of the strife,
Dear Saviour, thy truth is the shield of my life;
My foes shall be vanquished — shall die 'neath my feet;
I'll rest from the conflict with vict'ry complete. [Chorus]
4 And when — all the pangs of mortality o'er —
I join with the blood-wash'd who sing on the shore;
I'll dwell with the pure in thy temple above,
For ever and ever I'll rest in thy love. [Chorus]
