He Abides

lyricist: Herbert Buffum, 1922
Composer: Dock Shanks

I’m re­joic­ing night and day

As I walk the nar­row way

For the hand of God in all my life I see.

And the rea­son of my bliss

Yes

the sec­ret all is this:

That the Com­fort­er ab­ides with me.

He abides

He ab­ides.

Hallelujah

He ab­ides with me!

I’m re­joic­ing night and day

As I walk the nar­row way

For the Com­fort­er ab­ides with me.

Once my heart was full of sin

Once I had no peace with­in

Till I heard how Je­sus died up­on the tree.

Then I fell down at His feet

And there came a peace so sweet.

Now the Com­fort­er ab­ides with me.

He is with me ev­ery­where

And He knows my ev­ery care;

I’m as ha­ppy as a bird and just as free.

For the Spir­it has con­trol;

Jesus sa­tis­fies my soul

Since the Com­fort­er ab­ides with me.

There’s no thirst­ing for the things

Of the world—they’ve tak­en wings.

Long ago I gave them up

and in­stant­ly

All my night was turned to day

All my bur­dens rolled away.

Now the Com­fort­er ab­ides with me.
