Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus (L.M.R. Stead)

‘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.

 

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him.

How I’ve prov’d Him o’er and o’er,

Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!

O for grace to trust Him more.

 

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.

 

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him.

How I’ve prov’d 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.

 

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him.

How I’ve prov’d Him o’er and o’er,

Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!

O for grace to trust Him more.

 

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 prov’d Him o’er and o’er,

Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!

O for grace to trust Him more.
