'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus
Louisa M.R. Stead, c. 1850-1917
William J. Kirkpatrick, 1838-1921

'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."
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 Him cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me 'neath the healing, cleansing flood!
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!

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.
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 Thee, Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me, Wilt be with me to the end.
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!
