Verse 1

I am trusting thee, Lord Jesus,

At thy feet I bow;

For thy grace and tender mercy,

Trusting now.

I am trusting thee, to guide me;

Thou alone shalt lead,

Every day and hour supplying

All my need.

I am trusting thee, Lord Jesus;

Never let me fall;

I am trusting thee forever,

And for all. Amen.
