'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus

In the 1800's a woman named Louisa Stead, her husband, and their little daughter were enjoying an ocean side picnic. They heard a boy cry for help from the water. Mr. Stead rushed to save the him from drowning but was pulled under by the terrified boy. Both drowned as Louisa and her daughter watched helplessly. During the sorrowful days that followed, these words came from the grief stricken wife’s heart:

'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.'

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!

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!

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.

I'm so glad I learned to trust Him,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that He is with me,
Will be with me to the end.

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!

Psalm 91:2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
