Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: The Voice of Thanksgiving No. 2 #9 (1916) Hymnal Title: The Voice of Thanksgiving No. 2 Refrain First Line: O peace of God that passeth thought Lyrics: 1 My heart is resting, O my God,
I will give thanks and sing.
My heart is at the secret source
Of ev’ry precious thing.
Refrain:
O peace of God that passeth thought,
I daily, hourly sing,
My heart is at the secret source
Of ev’ry precious thing.
2 I thirst for springs of heav’nly life,
And here all day they rise;
I seek the treasure of Thy love,
And close at hand it lies. [Refrain]
3 And a “new song” is in my mouth,
To long-loved music set—
Glory to Thee for all the grace
I have not tasted yet! [Refrain]
4 I have a heritage of joy
That yet I must not see;
The hand that bled to make it mine
Is keeping it for me. [Refrain]
5 There is a certainty of love,
That sets my heart at rest;
A calm assurance for today
That what Thou dost is best. [Refrain] Tune Title: [My heart is resting, O my God]
My Heart is Resting, O My God
