Abide in Christ—this highest blessing gain

Abide in Christ—this highest blessing gain;

Each day sweet fellowship with Him maintain.

Abiding

He and we are joined as one;

In constant fellowship

all barriers gone.

Abide in Him

anointing then will flow;

In fellowship

the Spirit’s lead we’ll know.

Obeying

we His riches apprehend;

Led by the Spirit

we will be His friend.

Abide in Him

the light of grace will shine;

In fellowship

all shadows will decline.

Obey the light

His life in us will grow;

From darkness freed

our heart will comfort know.

Abiding

we are strengthened with each breath;

In fellowship

His life will swallow death.

Abiding

all our sighing turns to song;

In fellowship

our heart is gladdened

strong.

Abiding

this will Satan’s strength disarm;

In fellowship

the world will lose its charm.

Abiding

we sin’s power need not fear;

In fellowship

the self will disappear.

Abiding

thus conformed to Him we’ll be;

In fellowship

His life fills constantly.

Abiding

we experience His power;

In fellowship

His riches

hour by hour.

Abiding

Lord

for Thee my spirit yearns;

In fellowship

Thy Spirit in me burns

That all my being may be lost in Thee

And with Thee mingled through eternity.
