1. Abide in Me!—’t is Jesus’ voice;
O cease thy fruitless quest;—
In Me, believing souls, rejoice,
And enter into rest.
Chorus:
Abide in Me, (Abide in Me,) thy hiding place, (thy hiding place,)
From sin and burden free;
(From sin and burden free, from burden free;)
And thine shall be (And thine shall be) my boundless grace; (my boundless grace;)
O soul, abide in Me. (O soul, abide in Me.)
2. The peace which like a river flows,
The joy that is divine,
The blessedness that love bestows
Shall be forever thine.
3. At last, thro’ yonder shining gate,
My glory thou shalt see;
And there, in mansions that await,
Thou shalt abide with Me.
