76 - Constantly abiding

1.

There’s a peace in my heart that the world never gave,

A peace it cannot take away;

Tho' the trials of life may surround like a cloud,

I’ve a peace that has come here to stay!

Refrain: 

Constantly abiding, what joy is mine;

Constantly abiding, rapture divine;

He never leaves me lonely, whispers, oh, so kind:

“I will never leave thee;” what love sublime!

2.

Then one day I heard sing of a Savior and King,

When peace sweetly came to my heart;

Troubles all fled away and my night turned to day,

Blessed Jesus, how glorious Thou art!

3.

All this treasure I have in a temple of clay,

While here on His footstool I roam.

To my heavenly home, He will take me one day;

I'll be gathered with all of His own.
