Lyrics

Jesus, my shep­herd and Sav­ior di­vine,
Trusting in Thee, trust­ing in Thee;
O what a fore­taste of glo­ry is mine
While I am trust­ing in Thee!

Refrain

Trusting, trust­ing,
Jesus my Sav­ior, in Thee (in Thee);
O what a fore­taste of glo­ry is mine,
While I am trust­ing in Thee!

What tho’ around me the bil­lows may roll?
Trusting in Thee, trust­ing in Thee;
Firm on the rock I have an­chored my soul;
Lord, I am trust­ing in Thee!

Refrain

What if the sha­dows en­com­pass my way?
Trusting in Thee, trust­ing in Thee;
Lord, Thou hast pro­mised Thy strength as my day,
While I am trust­ing in Thee.

Refrain

Jesus, my shep­herd, Re­deem­er and friend,
Trusting in Thee, trust­ing in Thee;
Thou wilt de­liv­er and Thou wilt defend,
While I am trust­ing in Thee.
