646--Oh, trust thyself to Jesus

Oh, trust thyself to Jesus

646

	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 give me rest.
