Yes, Lord! ‎#194

194. He Abides

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.

Refrain:
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.

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. [Refrain]

3 He is with me ev'rywhere,
And He knows my ev'ry 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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
