I have learned the wondrous secret

|
| 1. | I have learned the wondrous secret |
| | Of abiding in the Lord; |
| | I have tasted life's pure fountain, |
| | I am drinking of His word; |
| | I have found the strength and sweetness |
| | Of abiding 'neath the blood; |
| | I have lost myself in Jesus, |
| | I am sinking into God. |
| | I'm abiding in the Lord |
| | And confiding in His word; |
| | I am hiding in the bosom of His love. |
| | Yes, abiding in the Lord |
| | And confiding in His word, |
| | I am hiding in the bosom of His love. |
| 2. | I am crucified with Jesus, |
| | And He lives and dwells with me; |
| | I have ceased from all my struggling, |
| | 'Tis no longer I, but He. |
| | All my will is yielded to Him, |
| | And His Spirit reigns within; |
| | And His precious blood each moment |
| | Keeps me cleansed and free from sin. |
| 3. | All my sicknesses I bring Him, |
| | And He bears them all away; |
| | All my fears and griefs I tell Him, |
| | All my cares from day to day, |
| | All my strength I draw from Jesus, |
| | By His breath I live and move; |
| | E'en His very mind He give me, |
| | And His faith, and life, and love. |
| 4. | For my words I take His wisdom, |
| | For my works His Spirit's power; |
| | For my ways His ceaseless presence |
| | Guards and guides me every hour. |
| | Of my heart, He is the portion, |
| | Of my joy the boundless spring; |
| | Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, |
| | Glorious Lord, and coming King. |
