1. There’s a place my soul is dwelling,
All unseen by mortal eye;
Life of resurrection fulness,
Hid with Christ my Lord on high;
Life of weakness in the human,
But of glorious strength Divine;
All sufficient for His service,
As I make each promise mine.
Chorus:
So I’m dwelling now in Jesus,
(So I’m dwelling now in Jesus, precious Jesus,)
And He lives and works in me;
(And He lives and works in me; He works in me;)
Blessed holy habitation,
(Blessed holy habitation, Blessed holy habitation,)
There the Spirit keeps me free.
(There the Spirit keeps me free, keeps me free.)
2. There’s a work that I am doing,
Yet not I, it is the Lord,
Going forth to tell the dying
Of salvation thro’ His Word;
‘Tis a work so great and glorious—
‘Tis a message so sublime
That no tongue of man or angel
Can exhaust its lofty rhyme.
3. There’s a hope to which I’m clinging—
“Blessed hope” of love and power,
‘Tis the joy of meeting Jesus
Some sweet day, some happy hour;
To that day we all are speeding,
For its coming watch and pray,
When our Lord will into glory
Catch His waiting Bride away.
