115. Constantly Abiding

1 There’s a peace in my heart that the world never gave,
A peace it cannot take away;
Tho the trials of life may surround like a cloud,
I’ve a peace that has come there to stay!

Chorus:
Constantly abiding -
Jesus is mine;
Constantly abiding -
Rapture divine!
He never leaves me lonely -
Whispers, O, so kind,
“I will never leave thee,”
Jesus is mine.

2 All the world seemed to sing of a Savior and King
When peace sweetly came to my heart;
Troubles all fled away and my night turned to day -
Blessed Jesus, how glorious Thou art! [Chorus]

3 This treasure I have in a temple of clay
While here on His footstool I roam;
But He’s coming to take me, some glorious day,
Over there to my heavenly home! [Chorus]
