Rest in Peace

Oh Jesus in you we take our rest 

You are the blessing by which we are blessed 

In you is forgiveness and sweet release 

Oh Jesus in you, we will rest in peace 

Lord in every trial and in every test

In times of ease and when we’re oppressed

We must diminish and you must increase

And then now, and then not yet we rest in peace

Bridge

Lord here in this present reality

We trust in you for what we can’t see

Anxieties flee when you we rest

For resting in you, we find we are most blessed

In you we find mercy and righteous relief.

Lord, we believe help our unbelief

The trials will come, may our fears decrease

You will work within us as we rest in your peace

For peace is a gift and it flows from Grace

The reconciled rest now in Jesus’ embrace

Christ is the peacemaker on his fruit we feast

With minds stayed on him, we will rest in peace

One day in the future, when you return 

We’ll find the repose for which we yearn

When our work has ended and our strivings cease 

Kept in you forever, we will rest in peace

Kept in you forever, we will rest in peace

Kept in you forever, we will rest in peace
