QUOTE OF THE QUARTER:

Behold God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; "The Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.: Isaiah 12:2

HYMNAL OF THE QUARTER:

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just to take Him at His word;

Just to rest upon His promise,

And to know, "Thus saith the Lord!"

Refrain:

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!

How I've proved Him o'er and o'er;

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!

Oh, for grace to trust Him more!

Refrain:

Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus

Just to trust His cleansing blood;

And in simple faith to plunge me

'Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Refrain

Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just from sin and self to cease;

Just from Jesus simply taking

Life and rest, and joy and peace.

Refrain

I'm so glad I learned to trust Thee,

Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;

And I know that Thou art with me,

Wilt be with me to the end.

Refrain
