13627. Abiding in Jesus

1 Abiding in Jesus,
Oh refuge so sweet,
No trials can move me,
My rest is complete;
Tho’ dangers surround me
And tempests may rage,
There’s naught but His presence
My thoughts can engage.

Refrain:
Abiding in Jesus,
Oh, sweet is the rest;
Abiding in Jesus,
I’m happy and blest.
Abiding in Jesus,
Oh, sweet is the rest;
Abiding in Jesus,
I’m happy and blest.

2 Abiding in Jesus,
There’s fullness of joy,
No trouble or sorrow
His peace can destroy;
His will is my pleasure,
My sweetest delight;
His presence my sunshine,
Eternally bright. [Refrain]

3 Abiding in Jesus,
Oh, refuge divine,
How sweet on His dear,
Loving breast to recline;
Thro’ clouds and thro’ sunshine,
He leadeth me still,
And daily my life
With His blessings doth fill. [Refrain]
