Representative Text

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]
