'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.
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!
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!
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, Saviour, friend;
and I know that thou art with me,
wilt be with me to the end.
