(Author John S. Haugh)
O Blessed rest of heart,
From doubting, fear and sin;
A rest in Christ the risen Lord,
Who sweetly reigns within.
I'm glad this rest is free,
This blessed rest from sin;
This rest is free for you and me,
A living Christ within.
He sought my wayward heart,
Was earnest to come in ;
A heart to wandering ever prone,
Whose reigning power was sin.
I gave to Him my heart,
A rebel sinful thing;
I gave it, all the heart I had,
It sorely needed Him.
My rest is deep and strong,
Abiding, true and clean;
No darkness now, nor fear at all,
For Jesus reigns supreme.
Now open wide your heart,
Refuse not Jesus room;
Admit Him now, He'll give you rest,
And bring eternal noon.
