1 How sweet to trust in Jesus!
To know no trust beside;
To find in Him a refuge,
Our weary soul to hide;
To lean on love eternal,
And in that love abide,
To lean on love eternal,
And in that love abide.

2 How sweet to follow Jesus!
To seek no other road;
Obediently and trustingly,
To walk the path He trod;
’Tis hallowed by His footprints,
And nighest unto God.
’Tis hallowed by His footprints,
And nighest unto God.

3 Ah! then to learn of Jesus!
This is a task most sweet;
To choose the better portion,
Like Mary at His feet;
With soul and body sanctified,
For His blest use made meet,
With soul and body sanctified,
For His blest use made meet.

4 And as we work for Jesus,
We wait His face to see;
The morning star has risen,
The night’s dark shadows flee;
A little while, and we shall dwell,
With Him eternally;
A little while, and we shall dwell,
With Him eternally;
