Lyrics

Trusting in Je­sus thro’ weal or thro’ woe,
Trusting in Je­sus wher­ev­er I go;
Trusting in Je­sus no ev­il I know,
Trusting in Je­sus alone.

Refrain

Trusting in Je­sus alone,
Trusting in Je­sus alone;
There is naught to of­fend,
On His love I de­pend,
Trusting in Je­sus alone.

Trusting in Je­sus when bur­dens oppress,
Trusting in Je­sus in times of dis­tress,
Trusting in Je­sus to com­fort and bless,
Trusting in Je­sus alone.

Refrain

Trusting in Je­sus my need to sup­ply,
Trusting in Je­sus when dan­gers are nigh;
Trusting in Je­sus, on Him I rely,
Trusting in Je­sus alone.

Refrain

Trusting in Je­sus thro’ gleam or thro’ gloom,
Trusting in Je­sus wher­ev­er I roam,
Trusting in Je­sus till I reach my home,
Trusting in Je­sus alone.
