• 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.
