Trusting in Thee

Jesus, my Shepherd and Savior divine,
Trusting in Thee, trusting in Thee;
O what a foretaste of glory is mine
While I am trusting in Thee!

Refrain

Trusting, trusting,
Jesus my Savior, in Thee (in Thee);
O what a foretaste of glory is mine,
While I am trusting in Thee!

What tho’ around me the billows may roll?
Trusting in Thee, trusting in Thee;
Firm on the Rock I have anchored my soul;
Lord, I am trusting in Thee!

Refrain

What if the shadows encompass my way?
Trusting in Thee, trusting in Thee;
Lord, Thou hast promised Thy strength as my day,
While I am trusting in Thee.

Refrain

Jesus, my Shepherd, Redeemer and Friend,
Trusting in Thee, trusting in Thee;
Thou wilt deliver and Thou wilt defend,
While I am trusting in Thee.
