10129. Indwelling

1 Joy of joys! the heav’nly kingdom
Is within the soul of man;
Blessèd truth, so grand, inspiring,
One with God’s eternal plan!
Sing glad praises, sing glad praises,
Sing glad praises evermore,
Sing glad praises, sing glad praises,
Sing glad praises evermore.

2 Truth of truths! the Christ, the Savior,
Is the light that lighteth all;
This the wisdom, true, unchanging,
Giv’n to save from error’s thrall;
Seek its guidance, seek its guidance,
Seek its guidance evermore,
Seek its guidance, seek its guidance,
Seek its guidance evermore.

3 Peace of peace I leave now with you,
Not an outward peace I give,
Peace that springs from the Eternal;
In that peace thou’lt truly live.
Life indwelling, life indwelling,
In the promised Comforter;
Life indwelling, life indwelling,
In the promised Comforter.
