Hi Songbird,

Yes, definitely a beautiful hymn

Here are the lyrics:

1.
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
And to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
And to know, "Thus says the Lord!"

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!

2.
O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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

Words by Louisa M.R. Stead, music by William J. Kirkpatrick. You can listen to a MIDI here:

God bless,

Thank you so much for that beautiful song. I was just given praise to the Lord and thanking him for my life and all the many blessings he has given me. And also I was praying for the love ones who have their 3 sons missing in the deep water of the Gulf of Mexico.
