He Abides

Verse 1

I’m rejoicing night and day As I walk the narrow way, For the hand of God in all my life I see; And the reason of my bliss, Yes, the secret all is this: That the Comforter abides with me.

Chorus

He abides, He abides; Hallelujah, He abides with me! I’m rejoicing night and day As I walk the narrow way, For the Comforter abides with me.

Verse 2

Once my heart was full of sin, Once I had no peace within, Till I heard how Jesus died upon the tree; Then I fell down at His feet, And there came a peace so sweet; Now the Comforter abides with me.

Verse 3

He is with me everywhere, And He knows my every care; I’m as happy as a bird and just as free; For the Spirit has control; Jesus satisfies my soul, Since the Comforter abides with me.

Verse 4

There’s no thirsting for the things Of the world—they’ve taken wings; Long ago I gave them up, and instantly All my night was turned to day, All my burdens rolled away; Now the Comforter abides with me.
