’TIS
SO SWEET
1. ’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!”
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;
And in simple faith to plunge me
’Neath the healing, cleansing
flood!
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!
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:
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!
4. 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.
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! Words: Louisa Stead, 1882; Music: William Kirkpatrick, 1882
