'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus

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 saith the Lord."  

Refrain:  
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!  

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! [Refrain]  

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. [Refrain]  

4 I'm so glad I learned to trust Thee,  
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;  
And I know that Thou art with me,  
Will be with me to the end. [Refrain]
