My heart is resting, O my God,
I will give thanks and sing;
My heart is at the secret source
Of every precious thing.
I will give thanks and sing;
My heart is at the secret source
Of every precious thing.
Oh, peace of God that passeth thought,
I daily, hourly sing;
My heart is at the secret source
Of every precious thing.
I daily, hourly sing;
My heart is at the secret source
Of every precious thing.

Now this frail vessel Thou hast made,
No hand but Thine shall fill;
The waters of the earth have failed,
And I am thirsty still.
No hand but Thine shall fill;
The waters of the earth have failed,
And I am thirsty still.
3
I thirst for springs of heavenly life,
And here all day they rise;
I seek the treasure of Thy love,
And close at hand it lies.
And here all day they rise;
I seek the treasure of Thy love,
And close at hand it lies.

A glad, new song is in my mouth,
To long-loved music set,
A song of praise for all the grace
I have not tasted yet.
To long-loved music set,
A song of praise for all the grace
I have not tasted yet.
5
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.
That yet I must not see;
The hand that bled to make it mine
Is keeping it for me.
6
There is a certainty of love
That sets my heart at rest;
A calm assurance for today
That to be poor is best.
That sets my heart at rest;
A calm assurance for today
That to be poor is best.

A prayer reposing on His truth,
Who hath made all things mine;
That draws my captive will to Him,
And makes it one with Thine.
Who hath made all things mine;
That draws my captive will to Him,
And makes it one with Thine.
