lyrics

‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus –
Just to take Him at His Word.
Just to rest upon His promise –
Just to know – “Thus saith the Lord”.

O, how sweet to trust in Jesus –
Just to trust His cleansing Blood.
Just in simple faith, to plunge me
‘Neath the healing, cleansing flood.

Refrain
Jesus, Jesus – how I trust Him –
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!
Jesus, Jesus – precious Jesus –
O, for grace to trust Him more!

Yes, ‘tis sweet to trust in Jesus –
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus, simply taking
Life and rest, and joy, and peace.

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee –
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend!
And I know that Thou art with me –
Wilt be with me to the end.

~~~Refrain~~~
