Jesus Has Come to Abide

Representative Text

1 His peace passeth all understanding,
For Jesus has come to abide;
Each moment rich blessing He’s granting,
Since Jesus has come to abide.

Chorus:
Yes, Jesus has come to abide,
Yes, Jesus has come to abide;
All glory to God, I am saved by the blood,
And Jesus has come to abide.

2 He died to redeem me forever,
And Jesus has come to abide;
His presence will leave me, oh, never,
For Jesus has come to abide. [Chorus]

3 When yielding my all to His service,
My Jesus came in to abide;
Securely I rest in His promise,
For Jesus in me doth abide. [Chorus]

4 The Spirit of God ever helps me,
Since Jesus has come to abide;
He’s in, and around, and upon me,
And Jesus has come to abide. [Chorus]
