378. Only Trust In Jesus

1 When the way is dark and dreary,
And your path would lead astray,
If you’ll only trust in Jesus,
He will guide you all the way.

Chorus:
He’ll go with you, He’ll go with you,
He’ll go with you to the end;
In your joy or in your sorrow
He will be your dearest Friend.

2 When your heart is sad and lonely,
And your grief is hard to bear,
If you’ll only trust in Jesus,
He will all your sorrows share. [Chorus]

3 Though temptations come upon you,
Calling, calling day by day,
If you’ll only trust in Jesus,
You can never go astray. [Chorus]

4 When your work on earth is over,
And you reach the river wide,
Christ the Savior will go with you,
He will bear you o’er the tide. [Chorus]
