’Tis so Sweet to Trust in Jesus

Hymn lyrics by Louisa M. R. Stead,
Music by William J. Kirkpatrick

Verse 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 says 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!

Verse 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!

Chorus

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.

Chorus

Verse 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.

Chorus
