Lyrics:

Verse 1: (sung at the beginning)

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,

just to take him at his word;

just to rest upon his promise,

and 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!

Verse 2: (sung at the ending)

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]

Verse 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]

Verse 4:

I’m so glad I learned to trust you,

precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;

and I know that you are with me,

will be with me to the end. [Refrain]
