635. 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus (Oh cuán dulce es fiar en Cristo)

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!
Oh, for grace to trust him more!

2 Oh, 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]

1 ¡Oh cuán dulce es fiar en Cristo
t entregarse todo a él;
esperar en sus promesas,
y en sus sendas serle fiel!

Estribillo:
Jesucristo, Jesucristo,
ya tu amor probaste en mí;
Jesucristo, Jesucristo,
siempre quiero fiar en ti.

2 Es muy dulce fiar en Cristo
y cumplir su voluntad,
no dudando su palabra,
que es la luz y la verdad. [Estribillo]

3 Siempre es grato fiar en Cristo
cuando busca el corazón
los tesoros celestiales
de la paz y del perdón. [Estribillo]

4 Siempre en ti confiar yo quiero,
mi precioso Salvador;
en la vida y en la muerte
protección me dé tu amor. [Estribillo]
