[VERSE 1]
D       D7       G        D
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Bm              Em      A
And to take him at his word
Bm           G        D
Just to rest upon his promise
Em   F# G          A        D
And to know, Thus says the Lord


[VERSE 2]
D      D7      G        D
O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Bm                 Em        A
Just to trust his cleansing blood
Bm            G        D
And in simple faith to plunge me
Em     F#  G         A        D
'Neath the healing, cleansing flood!


[Chorus]
D             G
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!
Bm                  Em        A
How I've proved him o'er and o'er!
D             G        D
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Em  F# G        A         D
O for grace to trust him more!


[VERSE 3]
D         D7       G         D
Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus
Bm                 Em      A
Just from sin and self to cease
Bm              G       D
Just from Jesus simply taking
Em   F#  G         A       D
Life and rest, and joy and peace


[Chorus]
D             G
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!
Bm                  Em        A
How I've proved him o'er and o'er!
D             G        D
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Em  F# G        A         D
O for grace to trust him more!


[VERSE 4]
D      D7          G      D
I'm so glad I learned to trust thee
Bm                 Em     A
Precious Jesus, Savior, friend
Bm              G        D
And I know that thou art with me
Em   F#  G         A   D
Wilt be with me to the end   D
