1
Abide in Thee! in that deep love of Thine,
My Jesus, Lord, Thou Lamb of God divine,
Down, closely down, as living branch with tree,
I would abide, my Lord, my Christ, in Thee.
2
Abide in Thee! my Savior God, I know
How love of Thine so vast in me may flow,
My empty vessel, running o'er with joy,
Must overflow to Thee without alloy.
3
Abide in Thee! nor doubt, nor self, nor sin,
Can e'er prevail with Thy blest life within;
Joined to Thyself, communing deep, my soul
Knows naught besides its motions to control.
4
Abide in Thee! 'tis thus I only know
The secrets of Thy mind e'en while below—
All joy and peace, and knowledge of Thy word,
All pow'r and fruit, and service for the Lord.

Abide in Thee! in that deep love of Thine...

As the vine wa are the branches so we must abide in the Lord so that His Love will be in us. HALLELUJAH! We should abide in Him in that deep Love of thine will be in us. AMEN AMEN AMEN! How touchable the song.

Revised version:

1. Abide in Thee! This is my heart's desire,

Moment by moment, ceaselessly, entire.

As branch is joined with vine organically,

I deeply long, Lord, to abide in Thee.

2. Abide in Thee! Thy wealth enjoy and know,

That all Thou art, Lord, out through me may flow;

I'd be a branch that, ever fresh in Thee,

Shows forth Thy life, bears fruit continually.

3. Abide in Thee! Nor doubt, nor self, nor sin

Can e'er prevail with Thy blest life within;

Joined to Thyself, communing deep, my soul

Is fully in the Spirit's blest control.

4. Abide in Thee! Thy heart's desire I see—

In Thy sweet presence, learn each mystery;

With joy and peace I'm filled and overflow—

By Thy rich Word supplied, empow'red to grow.
