’Tis so sweet just to know, as I with my Savior go, If I heed every sacred command That when sorrows betide I may in the refuge hide; He upholds me secure with His hand.
Refrain: ’Tis so sweet just to know that my Father loves me so, He will list to my heart’s faintest cry: I will trust in His grace, for I see His smiling face, ’Tis so sweet just to know He is nigh.
’Tis so sweet just to feel, as before Him low I kneel, That He knows all my burdens and needs, Counts each one of my tears, bids me cease from all my fears; And His Spirit for me intercedes.
I’ll rejoice in the shame when I suffer for His name, He will only permit what is best; Holy angels are near those who walk in godly fear, ’Tis so sweet just to trust Him and rest.
Oh, how sweet it will be when my Savior I shall see, In His presence to dwell evermore! I will share in the loss and reproaches of His cross, For the joy that is waiting before.
