I’m rejoicing night and day
As I walk the narrow way,
For the hand of God in all my life I see;
And the reason of my bliss,
Yes, the secret all is this:
That the Comforter abides with me.
Refrain:
He abides, He abides;
Hallelujah, He abides with me!
I’m rejoicing night and day
As I walk the narrow way,
For the Comforter abides with me.
Once my heart was full of sin,
Once I had no peace within,
Till I heard how Jesus died upon the tree;
Then I fell down at His feet,
And there came a peace so sweet;
Now the Comforter abides with me.
He is with me everywhere,
And He knows my every care;
I’m as happy as a bird and just as free;
For the Spirit has control;
Jesus satisfies my soul,
Since the Comforter abides with me.
There’s no thirsting for the things
Of the world—they’ve taken wings;
Long ago I gave them up, and instantly
All my night was turned to day,
All my burdens rolled away;
Now the Comforter abides with me.

If I Come to Jesus
1. If I come to Jesus,
He will make me glad;
He will give me pleasure
When my heart is sad.
Refrain
If I come to Jesus,
Happy I shall be.
He is gently calling
Little ones like me.
2. If I come to Jesus
He will hear my prayer;
He will love me dearly,
He my sins did bear.
3. If I come to Jesus
He will take my hand,
He will kindly lead me
To a better land.
4. There with happy children,
Robed in snowy white,
I shall see my Savior
In that world so bright.
If thou but suffer God to guide thee
and hope in him through all thy ways,
he’ll give thee strength, whate’er betide thee,
and bear thee through the evil days.
who trusts in God’s unchanging love
builds on the rock that naught can move.
What can these anxious cares avail thee,
these never-ceasing moans and sighs?
What can it help if thou bewail thee
o’er each dark moment as it flies?
Our cross and trials do but press
the heavier for our bitterness.
Be patient and await his leisure
in cheerful hope, with heart content
To take whate’er thy Father’s pleasure
and his discerning love hath sent,
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
to him who chose us for his own.
God knows full well when times of gladness
shall be the needful thing for thee.
When he has tried thy soul with sadness
and from all guile has found thee free,
he comes to thee all unaware
and makes thee own his loving care.
Nor think amid the fiery trial
that God hath cast thee off unheard,
that he whose hopes meet no denial
must surely be of God preferred.
Time passes and much change doth bring
and sets a bound to everything.
All are alike before the highest;
’tis easy to our God, we know,
to raise thee up, though low thou liest,
to make the rich man poor and low.
True wonders still by him are wrought
who setteth up and brings to naught.
Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving,
perform thy duties faithfully,
and trust his word, though undeserving,
thou yet shalt find it true for thee.
God never yet forsook in need
the soul that trusted him indeed.
