Alleluia! But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day; The saints triumphant rise in bright array; The King of glory passes on His wayAlleluia! Alleluia! From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,   singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost: Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen. Trusting JesusSimply trusting every day, Trusing through a stormy way; Even when my faith is small, Trusting Jesus — that is all. CHORUS:Trusing as the moments fly, Trusting as the days go by; Trusting Him whate'er befall, Trusing Jesus — that is all. Brightly doth His Spirit shineInto this poor heart of mine; While He leads I cannot fall, Trusting Jesus — that is all. CHORUSSinging if my way is clear, Praying if the path be drear; If in danger, for Him call, Trusting jesus — that is all. CHORUSTrusting Him while life shall last, Trusting Him 'til earth be past; 'Til I hear His final call, Trusting jesus — that is all. CHORUS
