Representative Text

1 I go singing on my pilgrim way,
Trusting in the promises of Jesus;
Now my soul is happy ev’ry day,
Trusting in the promises of Jesus.

Refrain:
Joy is mine, peace divine,
Trusting Jesus;
Now I rest fully blest,
Trusting Jesus.

2 Life to me is heaven here begun,
Trusting in the promises of Jesus;
I will labor till my race is run,
Trusting in the promises of Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ the storms of doubt and fear assail,
Trusting in the promises of Jesus;
They can never over me prevail,
Trusting in the promises of Jesus. [Refrain]

4 I must try to drive away the night
Trusting in the promises of Jesus;
Lead some soul into the gospel light,
Trusting in the promises of Jesus. [Refrain]
