Jesus, I will Trust Thee

Jesus, I will trust Thee,
trust Thee with my soul;
guilty, lost, and helpless,
Thou canst make me whole:
there is none in heaven
or on earth like Thee:
Thou hath died for sinners -
therefore, Lord, for me.

Jesus, I must trust Thee,
pondering Thy ways,
full of love and mercy
all Thine earthly days:
sinners gathered around Thee,
lepers sought Thy face;
none too vile or loathsome
for a Saviour's grace.

Jesus, I can trust Thee,
trust Thy written Word,
though Thy voice of pity
I have never heard:
when Thy Spirit teacheth;
to my taste how sweet!
Only may I hearken;
sitting at Thy feet.

Jesus, I do trust Thee,
trust without a doubt;
whosoever cometh
Thou wilt not cast out:
faithful is Thy promise,
precious is Thy blood:
these my soul's salvation,
Thou My Saviour God!

Mary Jane Walker, 1816-78
