Jesus, I am Resting, Resting

In loving memory of Joel McKanna, 1979-2011
Beloved son of Don and Audrey Niswander McKanna

Jesus, I am Resting, Resting

Jesus, I am resting, resting
   In the joy of what thou art;
I am finding out the greatness
   Of Thy loving heart.
Thou hast bid me gaze upon Thee,
  And Thy beauty fills my soul,
For by Thy transforming power,
   Thou has made me whole.

Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus,
   I behold Thee as Thou art,
And Thy love, so pure, so changless,
  Satisfies my heart;
Satisfies its deepest longings,
  Meets, supplies its every need,
Compasseth me round with blessings;
  This is love indeed!
            Jean Sphie Pigott,1876

Christians never see one another for the last time.
