Trusting in Jesus (Keeler)

’Tis sweet to trust in Je­sus

When dark temp­ta­tion’s near

When Sa­tan waits to win us

His gen­tle voice to hear.

To feel

tho’ hea­vy la­den

Jesus was tempt­ed

too

But

in His strength vic­tor­ious

We may our way pur­sue.

’Tis sweet to trust in Je­sus

Whatever may be­tide

To know thro’ life’s dark war­fare

He’s ev­er at our side.

Tho’ clouds may thick­ly ga­ther

And all the heav­ens fill

To know that close be­hind them

The sun is shin­ing still.

’Tis sweet to know that Je­sus

Supports the dy­ing head

And o’er death’s chil­ly wa­ters

By Him we shall be led.

That in His home of glo­ry

A man­sion is pre­pared

By Him who died to save us

If we’ve His suf­fer­ings shared.
