I have learned the wondrous secret
Of abiding in the Lord
I have found the strength and sweetness
Of confiding in His word
I have tasted life's pure fountain
I am drinking of His blood
I have lost myself in Jesus
I am sinking into God
Refrain
I'm abiding in the Lord
And confiding in His word
And I'm hiding, safely hiding
In the bosom of His love
I am crucified with Jesus
And He lives and dwells in me
I have ceased from all my struggling
'Tis no longer I but He
All my will is yielded to Him
And His Spirit reigns within
And His precious blood each moment
Keeps me cleansed and free from sin
All my cares I cast upon Him
And He bears them all away
All my fears and griefs I tell Him
All my needs from day to day
All my strength I draw from Jesus
By His breath I live and move
E'en His very mind He gives me
And His faith and life and love
For my words I take His wisdom
For my works His Spirit's pow'r
For my ways His gracious presence
Guards and guides me every hour
Of my heart He is the Portion
Of my joy the ceaseless Spring
Savior, Sanctifier, Keeper
Glorious Lord and loving King
