Representative Text

1 ‘Mid the trials and temptations,
As I journey here below,
Comes that sweet and blest assurance,
Jesus will not let me go.

Refrain:
I am trusting, I am trusting,
“He is able,” this I know;
He is able, I am trusting,
And he will not let me go.

2 I was lost in sin and darkness,
Deep compassion did he show,
For he saved me, fully saved me,
And he will not let me go. [Refrain]

3 Satan’s snares are spread around me,
They would fill my soul with woe,
But I know in whom I’m trusting,
And he will not let me go. [Refrain]

4 Tho’ the angry clouds may gather,
And the stormy winds may blow,
“He is faithful that hath promised,”
And he will not let me go. [Refrain]
