In Jesus

Representative Text

1 Hoping in Jesus, hoping in Jesus,
He is my Saviour, He is my all;
Hoping in Jesus, hoping in Jesus,
Will you not come when you hear His sweet call?
See He is waiting; hark! he is calling,
“Come unto Me,” all ye weary ones, come.”
Lean on His arm, and He will protect thee,
Guide thee through life to thy heavenly home,
Lead on His arm, and He will protect thee,
Guide thee through life to thy heavenly home.

2 Trusting in Jesus, trusting in Jesus,
His is my Rock, my Refuge, my Rest;
Trusting in Jesus, trusting in Jesus,
Ye who will trust Him shall ever be blest.
Will you not seek Him? will you not love him?
Jesus the Saviour who died for your sin.
Knock at the door, it quickly will open,
And Jesus gladly will welcome you in,
Knock at the door, it quickly will open,
And Jesus gladly will welcome you in.

3 Resting in Jesus, resting in Jesus,
He is my Guide, my Shepherd, my Life;
Resting in Jesus, resting in Jesus,
You who would rest from your trouble and strife,
Flee to Him now, and He will receive you,
Rest in his love, and your guide He will be,
Peace He will give to all who will ask it,
Come to Him now, for His mercy is free.
