1. 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. (Chorus:) 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. 2. 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 yielded to Him, And His Spirit reigns within; And His precious blood each moment Keeps me cleansed and free from sin. 3. 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. (Chorus:) 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. 4. 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.
