1 Tenderly, softly, sing we of Heaven,
Sing of the Saviour once for us given,
Sing of our Jesus,
Who from sin frees us,
Sing of Him sweetly, dear is His love.

Chorus:
Trust Him forever,
Trust Him forever,
Loving thee always, leaving thee never.
Trust Him forever,
Trust Him forever,
Loving thee always, leaving thee never.

2 Out of the shadows leading us kindly,
Guiding our footsteps, staggering blindly,
Guarding us ever,
Failing us never,
Glorify Jesus, sing evermore. [Chorus]

3 Trust him forever, trust him forever,
Loving thee always, leaving thee never,
Ere we be dying,
Let us be trying,
Faithful to serve Him who is so kind. [Chorus]
