Lyrics

Trustingly, trust­ing­ly,
Jesus, to Thee
Come I; Lord, lov­ing­ly
Come Thou to me;
Then I shall lov­ing­ly,
Then I shall joy­ful­ly,
Walk here with Thee.

Peacefully, peace­ful­ly,
Walk I with Thee:
Jesus, my Lord, Thou art
All, all to me;
Peace Thou hast left to us,
Thy peace hast giv­en us,
So let it be.

Whom but Thy­self, O Lord,
Have I above?
What have I left on earth?
Only Thy love!
Come then, O Sav­ior, come;
Come then, O Spi­rit, come,
Heavenly Dove.

Happily, hap­pi­ly,
Pass I along;
Eager to work for Thee,
Earnest and strong.
Life is for ser­vice true,
Life is for bat­tle, too,
Life is for song.

Hopefully, hope­ful­ly,
Onward I go;
Cheerfully, cheer­ful­ly,
Meet I the foe.
Crowns are await­ing us,
Glory pre­pared for us,
Joys ov­er­flow.
