16450. When Jesus Abides In The Soul

1 There’s a hope that can ne­ver be con­quered by fear,
A peace that the world can­not give,
A trust that is stead­fast and can­not be moved
When near to the Sav­ior we live.

Refrain:
Our love may be test­ed, our faith may be tried,
Temptations like bil­lows may roll,
But firm­ly we rest on Eter­ni­ty’s Rock,
When Je­sus ab­ides in the soul.

2 We may pass through the wa­ters, and yet He is there,
To lead and to com­fort His own,
While close­ly around us up­hold­ing our faith,
The arms of His mercy are thrown. [Refrain]

3 He may take in His wis­dom our trea­sures away,
But on­ly again to re­store
The links that are brok­en to spark­le anew,
Where part­ing and tears are no more. [Refrain]

4 If we cling to His pro­mise and walk in the light,
That nev­er, no nev­er, grows dim,
Our cares and our cross­es, what­e’er they may be,
Will draw us still near­er to Him. [Refrain]
