Cadet's Sister's version of \"'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus\". Lyrics by Louisa M. R. Stead who is said to have written it after she watched her husband drown as he was trying to save a young boy from drowning. The tragedy left her a poor single mother of a young girl, but she never lost her trust in God, a lesson that she taught to her daughter, too. This song is an expression of that trust.
Music by William J. Kirkpatrick.
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
And to know, \"Thus saith the Lord!\"
Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And 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 Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
