Oh, trust thyself to Jesus

Oh

trust thyself to Jesus

When conscious of thy sin

Its heavy weight upon thee

Its mighty pow’r within:

Then is the hour for pleading

His finished work for thee:

Then is the time for singing

His blood was shed for me.

Oh

trust thyself to Jesus

When tempted to transgress

By word or look of anger

Or thought of bitterness:

Then is the hour for claiming

Thy Lord to fight for thee:

Then is the time for singing

He doth deliver me.

Oh

trust thyself to Jesus

When daily cares perplex

And trifles seem so mighty

Thy inner soul to vex:

Then is the hour for grasping

His hand who walked the sea:

Then is the time for singing

He makes it calm for me.

Oh

trust thyself to Jesus

When thou art wearied sore

When head or hand refuses

To think or labor more:

Then is the hour for leaning

Upon the Master’s breast:

Then is the time for singing

My Savior gives me rest.
