As much as I love new worship songs, I also really enjoy the old classics. They're so full of rich truths! This is a particular favorite - comforting, but also challenges my heart each time I hear it. Am I truly trusting in Jesus as I should?

’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
And 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!
O for grace to trust Him more!

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

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

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

Thanks for sharing! This one's on my favorite list too.

Sometimes the neat thing about reading a hymn's lyrics is you really get to read what the author is saying. We often sing a song and not even really pay attention to the words. As I read the lyrics this time 3 truths popped out from this hym:

1. God's Word is trustworthy (v.1)
2. Jesus is our eternal friend (v.4)
3. It is by God's grace that we can trust Him and even trust Him more (v.2)
