Abiding, oh, so won­drous sweet,
I’m rest­ing at the Sav­ior’s feet,
I trust in Him, I’m sa­tis­fied,
I’m rest­ing in the Cru­ci­fied.

Refrain

Abiding, ab­id­ing,
Oh! so won­drous sweet;
I’m rest­ing, rest­ing,
At the Sav­ior’s feet.

He speaks, and by His word is giv’n
His peace, a rich fore­taste of Heav’n;
Not as the world He peace doth give,
’Tis thro’ this hope my soul shall live.

Refrain

I live; not I; ’tis He alone
By whom the migh­ty work is done;
Dead to my­self, al­ive to Him,
I count all loss His rest to gain.

Refrain

Now rest, my heart, the work is done;
I’m saved thro’ the eter­nal Son:
Let all my pow’rs my soul em­ploy,
To tell the world my peace and joy.

Refrain
