Here I abide in per­fect peace,
Ascend, our God, to Thee.
Thou Power and Peace, in whom we find
Now may we feel Thy quick­en­ing pow­er;
Remains alone with Thee;
More pre­cious still than ru­bies,
For in Thy pre­sence e’er abounds
Jesu, price­less trea­sure,
Thou paint­est out the lakes and rills
Its mer­chan­dise more worth be­speaks
What shall I bring to the Sav­ior?
Our Sun­day school, dear Sun­day school,
Music of all me­lo­dies.
Sweet home of the good and the ho­ly,
There liv­ing waters ev­er flow,
Come steal­ing thro’ the dist­ant winds
O stream of love past tell­ing,
O stream of love past tell­ing,
Thou that art pow­er and peace com­bined,
Walk through the streets

pur­est

And so I lean and find in Him re­pose;
Our thoughts from earth with­draw;
The rush­ing of the migh­ty wind,
And keep us in each try­ing hour.
We clear­ly light shall see.
Our bless­èd, bless­èd Bi­ble,
At Thy right hand un­ceas­ing flow
Truest Friend to me.
Thou writ­est out Thy won­drous love
Her price not ru­bies can com­mand;
Life in its sweet­ness and beau­ty,
Where tran­quil peace and ho­ly joy
Overflowing ev­er;
Where hearts, at the riv­er that part­ed,
Such as on earth we can­not know,
The earth lay closed in si­lent sleep
From out the Sav­ior’s side!
From out the Sav­ior’s side!
The rush­ing of the migh­ty wind,
Freed from all sor­row,
