1 I’m trusting, only trusting
In Jesus day by day;
I feel His presence nearer,
While pressing on my way;
My soul is full of glory,
And this my song shall be:
I love my blessed Savior,
Because He first loved me.

Refrain:
I love Him, I love Him,
Because He first loved me;
I trust Him, I trust Him,
Wherever I may be.
My soul is full of glory,
I sing because I’m free;
I love my blessed Savior,
Because He first loved me.

2 I’m trusting, only trusting
In Jesus every hour,
Who saves me by His mercy,
And keeps me by His pow’r;
I’ll publish His salvation
Wherever I may be;
With all my heart I love Him,
Because He first loved me. [Refrain]

3 I’m trusting, only trusting
My Savior’s hand to guide;
I know His grace sufficient,
And ask for naught beside;
My soul is on the mountain,
My home beyond the sea;
O bless the Lord! I love Him,
Because He first loved me. [Refrain]
