‘TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,

And to take him at his word;

Just to rest upon his promise,

And to know, "Thus saith the Lord."

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!

‘TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS

O how sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just to trust his cleansing blood;

And in simple faith to plunge me

‘Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

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!

‘TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS

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.

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!

‘TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS

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.

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!
