In the Meekness of the Spirit

Verse 1

In the meekness of the Spirit, In the power of the Lord, In the gentleness of Jesus, In the wisdom of His word; I am living, daily living, By the strength of heav'nly grace, In the shadow of His glory, And the shining of His face.

Chorus

Glory! glory! I am free! Sin no more reigns over me! God, the God of liberty, Keeps me sweetly, safely hidden in His word.

Verse 2

When the days are dark and gloomy, They are ever light within; Tho' temptations press me sorely, Christ delivers me from sin; Tho' He leads me thro' the valley, Oft with trials sore beset; My poor soul, amid the shadows, Trusts His glorious leading yet.

Verse 3

I am happy, I assure you, I am not ashamed to own That my life belongs to Jesus, Yes, to Jesus Christ alone; And He keeps me, daily keeps me In the Spirit of His pow'r, Sanctifying me each moment, Safely guiding ev'ry hour.
