1"He will still those who hunger and thirst, and will satisfy them like the portion of the Lord." - Isa. 55:1.
I Rest-u-al-ly can out - the walk, Sweet is thy boon-ti-ful grace, O we're found a land;
O at the heart of the moun-tain, Shin-ing so gold-en glo-ry, Wait-ing the quest of the
Hun-gry of souls, my Saviour, Then will thy bless-ed smil-ing, When in thy land.
RefrainREFRAIN:
Rest-ing, rest-ing, Sweet is thy boon-ti-ful grace,
Rest-ing, rest-ing, Wait-ing the quest of the
pure and bless-ed, Rest-ing of Em-a-nu-el thou wilt bel-low'd, I dream of thy crest to-w'rd.
2O rest-ing, con-tent-ed with na-ture, Beau-ti-ful val-ley of E-den, Home of the
Rest-ing the great new home.
