MY HEART IS RESTING My heart is resting, my God; I will give thanks and sing: My heart is at the secret source Of every precious thing.

Now the frail vessel Thou hast made No hand but thine shall fillThe waters of the earth have failed, And I am thirty still. 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 a "new song" is in my mouth, To long-loved music setGlory to Thee for all the grace I have not tasted yet. I have a heritage of joy That yet I may not see; The hand that bled to make it mine Is keeping it for me. There is a certainty of love 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.
