 1 

Oh, trust thyself to Jesus

When conscious of thy sin,

Its heavy weight upon thee,

Its mighty pow'r within:

Then is the hour for pleading

His finished work for thee:

Then is the time for singing,

His blood was shed for me.

 
 2 

Oh, trust thyself to Jesus

When tempted to transgress,

By word or look of anger,

Or thought of bitterness:

Then is the hour for claiming

Thy Lord to fight for thee:

Then is the time for singing,

He doth deliver me.

 
 3 

Oh, trust thyself to Jesus

When daily cares perplex,

And trifles seem so mighty

Thy inner soul to vex:

Then is the hour for grasping

His hand who walked the sea:

Then is the time for singing,

He makes it calm for me.

 
 4 

Oh, trust thyself to Jesus

When thou art wearied sore,

When head or hand refuses

To think or labor more:

Then is the hour for leaning

Upon the Master's breast:

Then is the time for singing,

My Savior gives me rest.
