169. Constantly Abiding

1
There’s a peace in my heart that the world never gave,
 
A peace it cannot take away;
 
Though the trials of life may surround like a cloud,
 
I’ve a peace that has come there to stay!
 
Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine;
 
Constantly abiding, rapture divine;
 
He never leaves me lonely, whispers, oh, so kind:
 
“I will never leave Thee” — Jesus is mine.
2
All the world seemed to 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
This treasure I have in a temple of clay,
 
While here on His footstool I roam;
 
But He’s coming to take me some glorious day,
 
Over there to my heavenly home!
