History
The lyrics to "'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus" were written by Louisa M. R. Stead. Stead was born in Dover, England in 1850 and she converted to Christianity at the age of nine.[2] In 1871, at the age of 21, she immigrated to the United States, residing in Cincinnati, Ohio.
That year, she attended a camp meeting in Urbana, Ohio where she felt the call of God to be a missionary to China, a call she had previously felt in her teenage years.[3] However, due to her health, she was unable to travel.[4] In 1875, four years later, she married and moved to New York
