1 ’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.”
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!
2 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]
3 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. [Refrain]
4 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]
