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)
