My heart is resting, O my God,

by Anna Letitia Waring

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 332 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

My heart is resting, O my God, I will give thanks and sing; My heart is at the secret source Of every precious thing.

Verse 2

I thirst for springs of heavenly life, And here an day they rise; I seek the treasure of Thy love, And close at hand it lies.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

There is a certainty of love That sets my heart at rest; A calm assurance for today, That to be poor is best.

Verse 5

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.
