Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus

 

 1  

’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,  

Just to take Him at His word;  

Just to rest upon His promise;  

Just to know, Thus saith the Lord. 

2  

O how sweet to trust in Jesus,  

Just to trust His cleansing blood;  

Just in simple faith to plunge me,  

’Neath the healing, cleansing flood.  

3  

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,  

Just from sin and self to cease;  

Just from Jesus simply taking  

Life, and rest, and joy, and peace.  

4  

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,  

Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;  

And I know that Thou art with me,  

Wilt be with me to the end.  

REFRAIN  

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,  

How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er,  

Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!  

O for grace to trust Him more

Trust in the Lord with all your heart. ~Proverbs 3:5

 "trust in Jesus"  

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  

Psalm 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.  

Psalm 9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.     

"his cleansing blood"  

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.  

Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,   

 "to plunge me 'neath the healing cleansing flood"  

Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.  

  "life and rest and joy and peace"  

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.  

Matthew 11:28-29 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  

John 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.  

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.     

"wilt be with me to the end"  

Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
