Louisa M. R. Stead, born in England, served as a missionary most part of her adult life in South Africa and Zimbabwe. Based on her experiences in life and ministry, she wrote the following hymn in 1882. May you be inspired as you meditate on the lyrics.
1 ‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
and to take him at his word;
just to rest upon his promise,
and to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!
How I’ve proved him o’er and o’er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust him more!
2 O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
just to trust his cleansing blood;
and in simple faith to plunge me
neath the healing, cleansing flood!
3 Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
just from sin and self to cease;
just from Jesus simply taking
life and rest, and joy and peace.
“But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.” (Jeremiah 17:7)
Remain inspired!
