He Abides

Verse 1:

            G                                            C             G/B       Am                    

I'm rejoicing night and day, as I walk the pilgrim way

               D                                               G   

For the hand of God in all my life I see,

                G                                               C         G/B  Am   

And the reason of my bliss, yes, the secret all is this

                  D                                      G  

That the Comforter abides with me

Chorus:

        G                                        C                D                  G 

He abides, He abides, Hallelujah, He abides with me

            G                                             C             G/B      Am 

I'm rejoicing night and day, as I walk the narrow way

               D                                       G 

For the Comforter abides with me

Verse 2:

                   G                                               

Once my heart was full of sin 

              C          G/B        Am

Once I had no peace within

           D                                        G   

Till I heard how Jesus died upon the tree

              G                                  

Then I fell down at His feet

                    C          G/B          Am

And there came a peace so sweet

                  D                                      G  

Now the Comforter abides with me

Verse 3:

            G                                          

He is with me everywhere

                 C              G/B    Am

And He knows my every care

             D                                              G    

I'm as happy as a bird and just as free

                 G                                        C      G/B     Am   

For the Spirit has control, Jesus satisfies my soul

                  D                                       G  

Since the Comforter abides with me

Verse 4:

                      G                                                        

There's no thirsting for the things 

             C                       G/B   Am

Of the world, they've taken wings

            D                                                    G 

Long ago I gave them up, and instantly

             G                                                  

All my night was turned to day

            C              G/B     Am

All my burdens rolled away

                  D                                     G  

Now the Comforter abides with me
