Light and Life ‎#5

5. I trust in thee

1 Simply trusting Christ today,
As my guide along the way;
Thro' the shadows dark and dim,
Trustingly, I'll lean on Him.

Chorus:
Trusting Jesus, Trusting Jesus,
Never doubting him at all;
Thro' the shadows dim and gray,
All along my pilgrim way.

2 Simply trusting as the years,
Bring me joys, or cause me tears;
Trusting tho' quite oft bereaved,
Trusting since I first believed. [Chorus]

3 Simply trusting till the end;
Trusting in the sinner's friend,
And when I shall come to die,
I shall feel His presence nigh. [Chorus]

4 Trusting Jesus, I shall stand
With that host, the ransom'd band,
Trusting Christ, who died for me,
He saves me thro' eternity. [Chorus]
