703. Jesus, I will trust you

Author: Mary J Walker 1816-78

Jesus, I will trust you,
trust you with my soul;
guilty, lost and helpless,
you can make me whole;
who like you in heaven
or on earth could be?
You have died for sinners,
therefore, Lord, for me.

2. Jesus, I may trust you,
name of highest worth
spoken by the angel
at your holy birth;
written, and for ever,
on the cross of shame;
sinners read and worship,
trusting in that name.

3. Jesus, I must trust you,
thinking on your ways,
full of love and mercy
all your earthly days;
sinners gathered round you,
outcasts sought your face;
none too vile or loathsome
for a Saviour’s grace.

4. Jesus, I can trust you,
trust your written word,
though your voice of pity
I have never heard;
when your Spirit teaches,
to my taste how sweet!
Only let me listen
sitting at your feet.

5. Jesus, I do trust you,
trust without a doubt;
for whoever seeks you
will not be cast out.
Faithful is your promise,
precious is your blood;
these my soul’s salvation,
you my Saviour God.
