Representative Text

1 Trusting alone in Jesus,
Leaning upon His breast,
There, in His love abiding,
Peacefully now I rest.

Chorus:
Trusting in Thee, trusting in Thee,
Sweetly I’m trusting, Savior, in Thee;
Trusting in Thee, trusting in Thee,
Sweetly I’m trusting, Savior, in Thee.

2 Led by His Holy Spirit,
Oh, what a joy is mine!
Out of a land of shadows,
Into the light divine. [Chorus]

3 Trusting thro’ storm and sunshine,
Trusting thro’ joy and pain,
Leaning upon His promise,
Breathing His holy name. [Chorus]

4 Simple to trust in Jesus,
Following day by day,
Up to the gates of glory,
Trusting Him all the way. [Chorus]
