The Gospel for Homeschool Parents and Teachers

Nothing either great or small
Nothing sinner, no
Jesus died to pay it all
Ever long ago
When he from his lofty throne
Stooped to do and die
Everything was fully done
Hearken to his cry
And rest in the hands of the
Savior
Rest in the grace of his labor
Rest in him

Weary working burdened one
Wherefore toil you so?
Cease your doing, all was done
Ever long ago
Til to Jesus’ work you cling
By a simple faith
Doing is a deadly thing
But by his work, we’re saved
So rest in the hands of the Savior
Oh rest in the grace of his labor
Rest in him

It is finished, yes indeed
Finished we were bought
Sinners, this is all we need
Tell me, is it not?
We cast our deadly doing down
Down at Jesus’ feet
Stand in him and him alone
Gloriously complete
And rest in the hands of the savior
Rest in the grace of his labor
Rest in him.
