He Is Able to Keep

Author: Mrs. A. P. Jarvis Hymnal: Gold Tried in the Fire #74 (1904) First Line: He is able to keep, oh, how sweet is the tho't Refrain First Line: And I am His own, for He chose even me Lyrics: 1 He is able to keep, oh, how sweet is the tho’t, That which we unto Him have committed— The soul once His own, He will never disown; It will surely for glory be fitted. Chorus: And I am His own, for He chose even me To love Him and serve Him forever; When my life work is done, and the victory won, I shall see Him, to part from Him never. 2 The lives of His own are His great special care; His love and His mercy surround them; Tho’ temptations assail, His grace cannot fail; Satan’s efforts can never confound them. [Chorus] 3 For the Spirit Himself is pleading for us, And the Son raises hands bruised and bleeding; For the souls He doth save from the thrall of the grave, To the Father He’s constantly pleading. [Chorus] 4 Then let us surrender our lives to His care, His grace and His goodness fail never; he giveth a joy that is past all alloy, And endures for ever and ever. [Chorus] 5 My soul doth rejoice in His wonderful love, In the pow’r that doth guide and uphold me; While praises I sing to my Savior and King, Whose beautiful grace doth enfold me. [Chorus] 6 The peace and the joy that the world cannot give, The love that is guiding and leading, He gives unto me. Oh, ‘tis blessed to be In green pastures by still waters feeding. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [He is able to keep, oh, how sweet is the tho't]
