I Will Give You Rest


This soothing chant by Ana Hernández is based on a phrase from Matthew 11:28. She suggests using it for personal meditation/centering, as well as in worship services. The tune quickly welcomes harmony; it could also be accompanied by a drone instrument (a shruti box or a soft unison or open fifth on the organ), keyboard, or guitar.

"Come unto me and I will give you rest."

The song can be found in the Music Sourcebook for Life Passages: Healing, Funeral, and Marriage, published by Augsburg Fortress.

A harmonized version of the chant is also available for purchase on Ana's website.
