I have learned the wondrous secret

lyricist: Albert Benjamin Simpson
Composer: James H. Burke

I have learned the wondrous secret

Of abiding in the Lord;

I have tasted life’s pure fountain

I am drinking of His word;

I have found the strength and sweetness

Of abiding ’neath the blood;

I have lost myself in Jesus

I am sinking into God.

I’m abiding in the Lord

And confiding in His word;

I am hiding in the bosom of His love.

Yes

abiding in the Lord

And confiding in His word

I am hiding in the bosom of His love.

I am crucified with Jesus

And He lives and dwells with me;

I have ceased from all my struggling

’Tis no longer I

but He.

All my will is yielding to Him

And His Spirit reigns within;

And His precious blood each moment

Keeps me cleansed and free from sin.

All my sicknesses I bring Him

And He bears them all away;

All my fears and griefs I tell Him

All my cares 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 power;

For my ways His ceaseless presence

Guards and guides me every hour.

Of my heart

He is the portion

Of my joy the boundless spring;

Savior

Sanctifier

Healer

Glorious Lord

and coming King.
