15681. Rest In Thee

1 Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou who gav’st Thyself for me,
Leave me not in sin to wander;
Bid me come and rest in Thee.

Refrain:
Rest in Thee, rest in Thee,
Bid me come and rest in Thee;
Rest in Thee, rest in Thee,
Bid me come and rest in Thee.

2 Hope of all the meek and lowly,
Thou my hope and joy shalt be;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Bid me come and rest in Thee. [Refrain]

3 Draw me from each sinful striving;
From myself, O set me free;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Bid me come and rest in Thee. [Refrain]

4 Highest, purest, sweetest pleasure,
Shall Thy service bring to me;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Bid me come and rest in Thee. [Refrain]
