ü 2 He did not ask me for a gift; Thad no name, I had no right, Lhad no gift to give: No gift; in sore distress He kindly, simply bade me lift Istood a sinner in His sight, Mine eyes, and look and live. And asked that He would bless. He asked me not which way Icame 4 He asked for nothing, save that I Ry wales f Aeeh despair, With simple heart would trust Or hills of hope; twas all the same, ihe cruel death He deigned to die, So they but led me there. That merey might be just. 3 He asked me not if Lcould show He asked my faith: my faith I gave, My right to claim His grace, Gave what He gave me first; Myright my guilty head hung low, And trusting, He was pleased to save, Ihid my blushing face. All shall be saved who trust. 228 c.x. MVHIEART IS RESTING. A. L. WAING. MV heart is resting, O my God, 2 And a new song is in my mouth Iwill give thanks and sing; To long-loved music set; My heart is at'the secret source Glory to Thee for all the grace Of every precious thing. Ihave not tasted yet. Ithirst for springs of heavenly life, Ihave a heritage of joy And here all day they rise; That yet I must not see; Iseek the treasure of Thy love, The hand that bled to make it mine, And close at hand it lies. Is keeping it for me.
