SDA Hymnal 523
My Faith Has Found a Resting Place
Words: Lidie H. EdmundsMusic: Andre E. M. GrétryTune: Landas8.8.8.8. with Refrain
1My faith has found a resting place,
Not in a man-made creed;
I trust the ever-living One,
That He for me will plead.
RefrainI need no other evidence,
I need no other plea;
It is enough that Jesus died
And rose again for me.
2Enough for me that Jesus saves,
This ends my fear and doubt;
A sinful soul I come to Him,
He will not cast me out.
3My soul is resting on the Word,
The living Word of God:
Salvation through His precious blood,
For me His life He gave.
4The great Physician heals the sick,
The lost He came to save;
For me His precious blood He shed,
For me His life He gave.
