The peace of Christ is available to every person in your congregation, and this significant anthem can help make it a reality. Thomas Grassi has adapted a classic hymn text, rich with meaning, and then created his own fresh, expressive choral setting. The sheer musicality of this unique choral work is overwhelming. The cello accompaniment part is optional, but almost irresistible. In lieu of solo cello, it may be played by a string organ stop or synthesizer. Crafted with musical elegance and grace, this anthem will bring the listener and performer to one conclusion— Jesus comes to give us peace and rest. Let this beautiful anthem be your prayer:

Jesus, I am resting

In the joy of what you are.

I am finding out the greatness

Of Your loving heart,

Your gracious, loving heart.

Simply trusting You, Lord,

I behold You as You are.

And Your love, so pure, so changeless,

Satisfies my heart,

Satisfies my longing heart, my longing heart,

Satisfies my restless heart!
