Hallelujah Lyrics: 1 I am dwelling in the comfort Of the Spirit day by day; I am walking and communing With my Saviour by the way, Till my heart cries out in wonder While his love to me I trace; Oh, the fulness of his mercy! Oh, the richness of his grace! Refrain: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I’m abiding in the sunshine of the Saviour’s blessed face; Hallelujah! hallelujah! Oh, the fulness of his mercy! Oh, the richness of his grace! 2 In the comfort of the Spirit What a holy calm is mine! In the presence of my Saviour There is joy and peace divine; I am walking in the sunshine That no cloud can ever dim, Nor a shadow vail its glory, While my faith abides in him. [Refrain] 3 In the comfort of the Spirit I shall see the closing day; In the presence of my Saviour I shall gently pass away; Through the gate of life immortal, To the city built above, There forever and forever I shall sing redeeming love. [Refrain] Tune Title: [I am dwelling in the comfort]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[I am dwelling in the comfort]" in Showers of Blessing William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
