Number: 156
English: Tune: R.S. 496. This appeares to be one that Wilfred notated with his DOS program, as it has no notes less than 1/4 and opposing stems. I have used the R.S. version (3/4 time.)

I lay my head on Je¤sus’ breast
In all my wea¤ri¤ness and need,
No tongue can tell how I am blest;
The rest He gives is rest in¤deed.

I hear His voice and see His face,
As on His bos¤om I re¤cline,
His love, His ten¤der¤ness and grace
Have con¤quered all this heart of mine.

His gra¤cious words of coun¤sel bring
A strength and glad¤ness to my soul,
My be¤ing is in¤spired to sing,
And whol¤ly yield to His con¤trol.

The beau¤ty of His ho¤li¤ness
In si¤lent won¤der I a¤dore,
And in His peace and right¤eous¤ness,
I shall re¤joice for ev¤er¤more.
