About this Hymn
As it was originally written, the refrain said, "Come to Jesus, come to Jesus," and so on, but gospel composer-evangelist Ira Sankey liked "Only trust him" better and made it famous that way through his renowned campaigns with Dwight L. Moody and his popular songbooks. Through this hymn countless souls have been beckoned to respond to the call of Christ.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Come, ev'ry soul by sin oppressed, there's mercy with the Lord, and he will surely give you rest by trusting in his word.
Chorus
Only trust him, only trust him, only trust him now; he will save you, he will save you, he will save you now.
Verse 2
For Jesus shed his precious blood rich blessings to bestow; plunge now into the crimson flood that washes white as snow.
Verse 3
Yes, Jesus is the Truth, the Way, that leads you into rest; believe in him without delay and you are fully blest.
