TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS
Words: Louisa M. R. SteadMusic: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick
1'Tis so sweet to trust in Je-sus, Just to take him at his word,
Just to rest up-on his prom-ise, Just to know thus saith the Lord.
RefrainJe-sus, Je-sus, how I trust him! How I've proved him o'er and o'er!
Je-sus, Je-sus, pre-cious Je-sus! O for grace to trust him more!
2O how sweet to trust in Je-sus, Just to trust his cleans-ing blood,
Just to rest up-on his prom-ise, Just to know thus saith the Lord.
3Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Je-sus, Just from sin and self to cease,
Just from Je-sus sim-ply tak-ing Life, and rest, and joy, and peace.
4I'm so glad I learned to trust thee, Pre-cious Je-sus, Sav-ior, friend;
And I know that thou art with me, Wilt be with me to the end.
