1 Just to trust in the Lord, just to lean on His word,
Just to feel I am His ev'ry day;
Just to walk by His side with His Spirit to guide,
Just to follow where He leads the way.

Chorus:
Just to say what He wants me to say,
And be still when He whispers to me;;
Just to go where He wants me to go,
Just to be what He wants me to be.

2 When my way darkest seems, when are blighted my dreams,
Just to feel that the Lord knoweth best;
Just to yield to His will, just to trust, and be still,
Just to lean on His bosom and rest. [Chorus]

3 Then my heart will be light, then my path will be bright,
If I've Jesus for my dearest friend;
Counting all loss but gain, such a friend to obtain,
True and faithful He'll be to the end. [Chorus]
