Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Awakening Songs for the Church, Sunday School and Evangelistic Services #17 (1917) First Line: I'm trusting, only trusting Refrain First Line: I love him Lyrics: 1 I’m trusting, only trusting
In Jesus day by day;
I feel His presence nearer,
While pressing on my way;
My soul is full of glory,
And this my song shall be:
I love my blessed Savior,
Because He first loved me.
Refrain:
I love Him, I love Him,
Because He first loved me;
I trust Him, I trust Him,
Wherever I may be.
My soul is full of glory,
I sing because I’m free;
I love my blessed Savior,
Because He first loved me.
2 I’m trusting, only trusting
In Jesus every hour,
Who saves me by His mercy,
And keeps me by His pow’r;
I’ll publish His salvation
Wherever I may be;
With all my heart I love Him,
Because He first loved me. [Refrain]
3 I’m trusting, only trusting
My Savior’s hand to guide;
I know His grace sufficient,
And ask for naught beside;
My soul is on the mountain,
My home beyond the sea;
O bless the Lord! I love Him,
Because He first loved me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I'm trusting, only trusting]
Because he first loved me
