About this Hymn
Inspired by Matthew 11:28–30, this hymn of assurance invites the weary and burdened sinner and sufferer to rest in the security of God's love and compassion. With a simple melody and profound truths this hymn can be sung in the privacy of personal devotions or with the encouragement of the gathered church. – Jordan Kauflin
Lyrics
Verse 1
Are you weary, heavy-laden? Come and lay your burdens down; Jesus calls you, Jesus draws you; rest in him. He is gentle, he is lowly, he delights to bring us peace; tender Shepherd, mighty Savior: rest in him.
Chorus
How sure his compassion for us! Oh, how deep is his love; so come, come to Jesus and rest in him.
Verse 2
Are you hopeless, are you guilty? Caught in shame for all your sin? He pursues you to forgive you; rest in him. He has paid for ev'ry failure, mercy flows in endless streams; come and follow, freedom calls you: rest in him.
Verse 3
Are you waiting in your sorrows for this broken world to heal? He is coming, soon returning; rest in him. We will see him, we will know him, oh, what heights of grace revealed; from his kindness ev'ry promise then fulfilled.
