Louisa M.R. Stead: A Life of Faith, Tragedy, and Triumph
In the annals of Christian hymnody, countless stories of faith and perseverance have inspired generations of believers. One such story is that of Louisa M.R.

A Young Girl’s Missionary Calling
Louisa M.R. Stead was born in England in 1850. From a tender age, she felt a strong calling to serve as a missionary, a desire that would shape the course of her life.

John 14:1-3
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling-places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also.
Tis So Sweet To Trust in Jesus
1. ’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!
2. 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!
3. 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.
