Celebrating Grace Hymnal ‎#570

570. '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 Him,
precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
and I know that He is with me,
will be with me to the end. [Refrain]
