Simply trusting every day;
Trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by,
Trusting Him, whate’er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Trusting as the days go by,
Trusting Him, whate’er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Brightly doth His Spirit shine
Into this poor heart of mine;
While He leads I cannot fall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Into this poor heart of mine;
While He leads I cannot fall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Singing if my way be clear,
Praying if the path be drear;
If in danger, for Him call,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Praying if the path be drear;
If in danger, for Him call,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Trusting Him while life shall last,
Trusting Him till earth is past,
Till His gracious advent call,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Trusting Him till earth is past,
Till His gracious advent call,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

I have been waking up with this hymn in my heart for the last week.
The 4th stanza, 3rd line originally says, "Till within the jasper wall,".
Edgar Page Stites was of English descent and was born at Cape May, New Jersey, where his ancestors had settled after coming over on the Mayflower. Edgar was converted to Christ at the age of 19 during the great revival of Philadelphia, often called the Awakening of 1857 and 1858. Shortly thereafter, he joined the Methodist Church of Cape May where he served for 60 years and became a local “lay pastor. ” As a home missionary, he also was involved in the starting of new churches in the South Jersey area and in the Dakota Territory.
After serving in the American civil war at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Stites became a riverboat pilot on the Delaware River.
In 1869, Stites, along with other Methodist ministers and laymen, founded the “Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association” to run a Methodist camp meeting south of Ocean Grove, New Jersey. By 1875, the camp was quite active. Popular hymn writers of the day would visit each summer: Ira D. Sankey, William H. Doane, William J. Kirkpatrick, John R. Sweeney, Eliza Edmunds Stites Hewitt (his cousin), Fanny Crosby, and others.
He also wrote the popular song "Beulah Land" about which Stites wrote: "It was in 1876 that I wrote ‘Beulah Land. ’ I could write only two verses and the chorus, when I was overcome and fell on my face. That was one Sunday. On the following Sunday I wrote the third and fourth verses, and again I was so influenced by emotion that I could only pray and weep. The first time it was sung was at the regular Monday morning meeting of Methodists in Philadelphia. Bishop McCabe sang it to the assembled ministers. Since then it is known wherever religious people congregate. I have never received a cent for my songs. Perhaps that is why they have had such a wide popularity. I could not do work for the Master and receive pay for it." - wikipedia & cyberhymnal

I just woke up with this song from my dream and I decided to check the lyrics up online so that I can sing as the song weigh itself heavily on my heart. Yes! In this trial times, Jesus is asking us to trust him and trusting in him is all we need now!
Trusting him as the moments fly, trusting him as the days go by. Trusting him whatever be the fall; trusting in Jesus that is all!

Jesus is all we have in these very difficult times. We will keep on trusting in his unfailing love. Psalm 37:40 says 'And the Lord shall help them; He shall deliver them from the wicked; And save them because they trust in Him. Amen
