I trust in thee

Author: R. G. Staples Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Simply trusting Christ today Refrain First Line: Trusting Jesus, Trusting Jesus Lyrics: 1 Simply trusting Christ today, As my guide along the way; Thro' the shadows dark and dim, Trustingly, I'll lean on Him. Chorus: Trusting Jesus, Trusting Jesus, Never doubting him at all; Thro' the shadows dim and gray, All along my pilgrim way. 2 Simply trusting as the years, Bring me joys, or cause me tears; Trusting tho' quite oft bereaved, Trusting since I first believed. [Chorus] 3 Simply trusting till the end; Trusting in the sinner's friend, And when I shall come to die, I shall feel His presence nigh. [Chorus] 4 Trusting Jesus, I shall stand With that host, the ransom'd band, Trusting Christ, who died for me, He saves me thro' eternity. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Simply trusting Christ today]
