How Sweet to Trust in Jesus

How sweet to trust in Je­sus!

To know no trust be­side;

To find in Him a re­fuge

Our wea­ry soul to hide;

To lean on love eter­nal

And in that love abide

To lean on love eter­nal

And in that love abide.

How sweet to fol­low Je­sus!

To seek no oth­er road;

Obediently and trust­ing­ly

To walk the path He trod;

’Tis hallowed by His foot­prints

And nigh­est un­to God.

’Tis hal­lowed by His foot­prints

And nigh­est unto God.

Ah! then to learn of Je­sus!

This is a task most sweet;

To choose the bet­ter por­tion

Like Ma­ry at His feet;

With soul and body sanc­ti­fied

For His blest use made meet

With soul and body sanc­ti­fied

For His blest use made meet.

And as we work for Je­sus

We wait His face to see;

The morn­ing star has ris­en

The night’s dark sha­dows flee;

A lit­tle while

and we shall dwell

With Him eter­nal­ly;

A lit­tle while

and we shall dwell

With Him eter­nal­ly;
