Abiding and Confiding

Abide in me, and I in you.

As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Jn. 15:4

1. I have learned the won - drous se - cret Of a - bid - ing in the Lord;
2. I am cru - ci - ied with Je - sus, And He lives and dwells in me,
3. All my cares I cast up - on Him, And He bears them all a - way;

œœ ™™
4. For my words I take His wis - dom, For my works His Spir - it’s pow’r;

I have found the strength and sweet - ness Of con - id - ing in His word;
I have ceased from all my strug - gling, ’Tis no lon - ger I but He;
All my fears and griefs I tell Him, All my needs from day to day;

œœ ™™ œœ ™™ œœ™™
For my ways His gra - cious pre - sence Guards and guides me eve - ry hour;

I have tast - ed life’s pure foun - tain, I am drink - ing of His blood,
All my will is yield - ed to Him, And His Spir - it reigns with - in,
All my strength I draw from Je - sus, By His breath I live and move;

œœ ™™
Of my heart He is the Por - tion, Of my joy the cease - less Spring,

I have lost my - self in Je - sus, I am sink - ing in - to God.
And His pre - cious blood each mo - ment Keeps me cleansed and free from sin.
E’en His ver - y mind He gives me And His faith and life and love.

Sav - ior, Sanc - ti - i - er, Keep - er, Glo - rious Lord and lov - ing King.
