Rest and Comfort in Christ alone.
Where shall I fly but to thy feet,
My Saviour, my almighty friend?
Dear names, beyond expression sweet!
On these my hopes of Bliss depend.
My Saviour, my almighty friend?
Dear names, beyond expression sweet!
On these my hopes of Bliss depend.
120
Where shall I rest but on thy grace,
Thy boundless grace divinely free?
On earth I find no resting place;
Dear Saviour, bid me come to thee!
Thy boundless grace divinely free?
On earth I find no resting place;
Dear Saviour, bid me come to thee!
Though sin detains me from my Lord,
I long, I languish to be blest:
O speak one soul reviving word,
And bid me come to thee, my rest.
I long, I languish to be blest:
O speak one soul reviving word,
And bid me come to thee, my rest.
When I this wretched heart explore,
Here no kind source of hope appears;
But O my soul, that grace adore,
Free grace, which triumphs o'er my fears.
Here no kind source of hope appears;
But O my soul, that grace adore,
Free grace, which triumphs o'er my fears.
Jesus, from thy atoning blood,
My only consolation flows;
Hope beams from thee my Saviour God,
My soul no other refuge knows.
My only consolation flows;
Hope beams from thee my Saviour God,
My soul no other refuge knows.
