  *++Lyrics:|\\
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,\\
And to take Him at His Word;\\
Just to rest upon His promise,\\
And 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!\\
\\
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, Savior, Friend;\\
And I know that Thou art with me,\\
Wilt be with me to the end.\\
\\
