In sim¤ple res¤ig¤na¤tion, whole, com¤plete,
I leave my all to sit at Je¤sus feet.
I rest in Him, His spir¤it rests with me,
Im¤part¤ing love, His peace and ¤con¤stan¤cy.

I learn of Him re¤ceiv¤ing grace for grace,
The ful¤ness of His love and mer¤cy trace,
’Tis mer¤cy, all that I was brought to know
This life di¤vine He on¤ly ¤can be¤stow.

For¤sak¤ing all, I en¤ter in¤to rest,
I cease from la¤bour and am tru¤ly blest,
My la¤bour is to put my¤self a¤side,
Then faith¤ful¤ly in Him, my ¤Lord a¤bide.

He is my light, in Him I move and live,
His all a¤bound¤ing grace I dai¤ly prove,
To strength¤en and sus¤tain me in the way,
And keep my heart lest I should ¤go a¤stray.

His law with¤in my heart is my de¤light,
I med¤i¤tate there¤in both day and night,
Pre¤sent my bod¤y dai¤ly to ful¤fil
His good, ac¤cept¤a¤ble and ¤per¤fect will.
