Abide in Him, Abide
Abide in Him, abide
In Christ the Crucified:
He liveth and was dead,
Him angel hosts adore,
He is creation’s Head,
Alive for evermore.
My soul, abide in Him,
Whose blood did thee redeem:
His blood is all to thee,
It tells of sin forgiven,
It sets the spirit free,
It opes the gate of heaven.
He left the Father’s throne
To claim thee for His own:
His is a heart of love,
Whose depths of sympathy,
O’erflowing from above,
Yearn evermore for thee.
He is the Living Light,
Shining in sin’s dark night:
His love can ne’er decay,
His light can ne’er grow dim,
My soul, turn not away,
Abide, abide in Him.
