I Am Trusting Thee, Lord Jesus
Words: [unclear]Music: [unclear]Tune: [unclear][unclear]
1I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus,
Trusting only Thee;
Trusting Thee for full salvation,
Great and free.
2I am trusting Thee for pardon;
At Thy feet I bow;
For Thy grace and tender mercy,
Trusting now.
3I am trusting Thee to guide me;
Thou alone shalt lead,
Every day and hour supplying
All my need.
4I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus;
Never let me fall;
I am trusting Thee forever,
And for all.
