I’m rest¤ing so sweet¤ly in Je¤sus my Lord,
En¤riched with His Spir¤it, sus¤tained by His Word.
No foes can a¤larm me, no dan¤gers af¤fright.
My soul is en¤rap¤tured and filled with de¤light.

Chorus:
Rest, O my soul, a¤way with thy fear,
Hushed be thy mur¤mur¤ing– Je¤sus is near;
Cease thy re¤pin¤ing: all, ¤all is well;
Bliss¤ful the un¤ion with ¤Him to dwell.

I’m rest¤ing so sweet¤ly in Je¤sus my Lord,
Love ev¤er last¤ing and e¤ter¤nal the cord
That binds me to Him who re¤deemed me from sin
And foes who op¤pressed me with¤out and with¤in.

I’m rest¤ing so sweet¤ly in Je¤sus my Lord,
There’s nought like Em¤man¤uel can com¤fort af¤ford.
His joys are su¤per¤nal, His serv¤ice is sweet.
My chief¤est de¤light is to learn at His feet.

I’m rest¤ing so sweet¤ly in Je¤sus my Lord,
My heart is u¤nit¤ed in true glad ac¤cord
With Him the E¤ter¤nal, The all lov¤ing one
He chose me and called me and made me His son.
