#119 He Abides

1)I'm re-joic-ing night and day, As I walk the pil-grim way, For the hand of God in all my life I see, And the rea-son of my bliss, Yes, the se-cret all is this: That the comforter abides with me. Chorus: He Abides, He abides, Hal-le-lu-jah He abides with me! I'm re-joic-ing night and day, As I walk the na-rrow way, For the com-forter a-bides with me. 2)Once my heart was full of sin, Once I Had no peace with-in, Till I heard how Je-sus died up-on the tree: Then I fell down at His feet, And there came a peace so sweet, Now the Com-forter a-bides with me. Chorus: He Abides, He abides, Hal-le-lu-jah He abides with me! I'm re-joic-ing night and day, As I walk the na-rrow way, For the com-forter a-bides with me. 3)He is with me ev-ry where, And He knows my ev-ry care, I'm as Hap-py as a bird and just as free; For the Spirit has control, Je-sus sat-is-fies my soul, Since the Com-forter a-bides with me. Chorus: He Abides, He abides, Hal-le-lu-jah He abides with me! I'm re-joic-ing night and day, As I walk the na-rrow way, For the com-forter a-bides with me. 4)There's no thirst-ing for the things Of the world they've tak-en wings, Long ago I gave them up, and in-stantly All my night was turned to day, And my bur-dens rolled a-way, Now the com-fort-er a-bides with me. Chorus: He Abides, He abides, Hal-le-lu-jah He abides with me! I'm re-joic-ing night and day, As I walk the na-rrow way, For the com-forter a-bides with me.
