Hymn 108 - 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus

Main message: It feels blissful to trust in Jesus.


Bible references: (John 14:1)

  • V1. "His promise" (2 Peter 1:4)

"Trust" (Psalm 115:9, 10, 11)(Isaiah 26:4)

  • V2. "His cleansing blood" (Hebrews 13:12)

  • V3. "Just" (Romans 5:9)

  • V4. "Be with me to the end" (Genesis 28:15)


Keywords: sweet, trust in Jesus, promise, grace, His cleansing blood, simple faith, just, Life, rest, joy, peace, glad, precious, friend, with me to the end


Interpretation notes:

  • The hymn’s melody moves mostly by step, with disjunct intervals appearing in measures 7, 14, and 15. 

  • These wider intervals occur on the words 'know,' 'healing,' 'rest,' 'with,' 'precious,' and 'grace.' 

  • The text focuses on trusting Jesus and on faithfulness and promises.
