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.

Trust in Jesus, he will keep us
