Lyrics

If you come to Je­sus, trust His love and grace,
If you read the Bi­ble and the truth em­brace,
You will find your spir­it thrill with peace di­vine—
Jesus will be yours as He is mine.

Refrain

Trust Him, then, my bro­ther (O trust Him);
Trust the Lord di­vine;
Trust Him, then, my bro­ther (O trust Him);
And He will be yours as He is mine.

He will be your Sav­ior; He will be your friend;
Be your guide and help­er—from the foe de­fend;
And the Holy Spir­it will your soul re­fine—
Jesus will be yours as He is mine.

Refrain

None so weak and sin­ful but He will for­give,
None so full of sor­row but He will re­lieve;
And if you un­to Him all your heart re­sign—
Jesus will be yours as He is mine.
