Representative Text

1 If you come to Jesus, trust His love and grace,
If you read the Bible and the truth embrace,
You will find your spirit thrill with peace divine—
Jesus will be yours as He is mine.

Refrain:
Trust Him, then, my brother (O trust Him);
Trust the Lord divine;
Trust Him, then, my brother (O trust Him);
And He will be yours as He is mine.

2 He will be your Savior; He will be your friend;
Be your guide and helper—from the foe defend;
And the Holy Spirit will your soul refine—
Jesus will be yours as He is mine. [Refrain]

3 None so weak and sinful but He will forgive,
None so full of sorrow but He will relieve;
And if you unto Him all your heart resign—
Jesus will be yours as He is mine. [Refrain]
