Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus


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."

CHORUS:

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!

I'm so glad I learned to trust Him
Precious Jesus, Savior, friend
And I know that He is with me
Will be with me to the end

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

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!
