darkness dims as light’s unfolding
wrapped up in my Savior’s love
Son of God am I beholding
resting in His might above
cherish, o, those words so tender
as He softly speaks my name
at His image I remember
not my sin or dark of shame
at the right hand of the Father
judging saints and sinners all
from His precepts never wandered
from His grace never to fall
saved from that dark pit infernal
getting not what I deserve
son of God and heir eternal
at the feet of Him I serve
sharing heaven with my Savior
life not ending, glory found
resting in the arms of my Lord
resting where pure joy abounds
