Melodious Sonnets ‎#28

28. Trusting in Jesus

1 Trusting in Jesus, my Saviour divine,
I have the witness that still he is mine;
Great are the blessings he giveth to me:
Oh, I am happy as mortal can be.

Refrain:
I am redeemed, and I know it full well,
Saved by his grace, I with him shall dwell;
I am redeemed, and the child of his love,
Heir to a glorious crown above.

2 One I was far from my Saviour and King,
Now he has taught me his mercy to sing;
Peace in believing he giveth to me:
Oh, I am happy as mortal can be. [Refrain]

3 Trusting in Jesus, oh, what should I fear?
Nothing can harm me when he is so near!
Sweet is the promise he giveth to me:
Oh, I am happy as mortal can be. [Refrain]

4 If while a stranger I journey below
Filled with his fulness such rapture I know,
What will the bliss of eternity be,
When in his beauty the King I shall see? [Refrain]
