The Abiding Comforter

lyricist: J. B. Branam, 1907
Composer: Tune by J. B. Branam, harmonized by Andrew Byers

Are you filled with glo­ry

bro­ther?

Are you ful­ly saved from sin?

Is the Ho­ly Spir­it burn­ing in your soul?

Has the stream from Calv’ry’s mount­ain

Cleansed you per­fect­ly with­in?

Has the Spir­it in your heart the full con­trol?

Glory

glo­ry be to Je­sus

Now the Com­fort­er abides

And the waves of peace and glo­ry fill my soul.

I am sanc­ti­fied and hap­py

Walking by my Sav­ior’s side

While the streams of life from Heav­en o’er me roll.

Is the Com­fort­er abid­ing

Keeping you by pow’r di­vine?

Free from ev­il

in the way of truth each day?

Is He dwell­ing in His tem­ple?

Does His glo­ry in you shine?

Bless the Lord!

I know He’s come in me to stay.

Are you free from strife and en­vy

And from world­li­ness and pride

Washed and whit­er than the snow in Je­sus’ blood?

If a sin­gle stain of crim­son

Yet with­in you should abide—

Even one

your soul would ban­ish from your God.

Are you rea­dy for the Bride­groom

Robed in gar­ments white and clean?

Is your lamp now filled with oil and burn­ing bright?

Are you liv­ing close to Je­sus?

Do you on His bo­som lean

Meek and lowly

pure and spot­less in His sight?
