Abide in Christ—this highest blessing gain;
Each day sweet fellowship with Him maintain.
Abiding, He and we are joined as one;
In constant fellowship, all barriers gone.
Each day sweet fellowship with Him maintain.
Abiding, He and we are joined as one;
In constant fellowship, all barriers gone.
2
Abide in Him, anointing then will flow;
In fellowship, the Spirit’s lead we’ll know.
Obeying, we His riches apprehend;
Led by the Spirit, we will be His friend.
In fellowship, the Spirit’s lead we’ll know.
Obeying, we His riches apprehend;
Led by the Spirit, we will be His friend.
3
Abide in Him, the light of grace will shine;
In fellowship, all shadows will decline.
Obey the light, His life in us will grow;
From darkness freed, our heart will comfort know.
In fellowship, all shadows will decline.
Obey the light, His life in us will grow;
From darkness freed, our heart will comfort know.
4
Abiding, we are strengthened with each breath;
In fellowship, His life will swallow death.
Abiding, all our sighing turns to song;
In fellowship, our heart is gladdened, strong.
In fellowship, His life will swallow death.
Abiding, all our sighing turns to song;
In fellowship, our heart is gladdened, strong.
5
Abiding, this will Satan’s strength disarm;
In fellowship, the world will lose its charm.
Abiding, we sin’s power need not fear;
In fellowship, the self will disappear.
In fellowship, the world will lose its charm.
Abiding, we sin’s power need not fear;
In fellowship, the self will disappear.
6
Abiding, thus conformed to Him we’ll be;
In fellowship, His life fills constantly.
Abiding, we experience His power;
In fellowship, His riches, hour by hour.
In fellowship, His life fills constantly.
Abiding, we experience His power;
In fellowship, His riches, hour by hour.
7
Abiding, Lord, for Thee my spirit yearns;
In fellowship, Thy Spirit in me burns,
That all my being may be lost in Thee
And with Thee mingled through eternity.
In fellowship, Thy Spirit in me burns,
That all my being may be lost in Thee
And with Thee mingled through eternity.

Abiding is going into the good land to live. Abiding is to make our home somewhere not just visit, not just a Quick Look to check it out. That’s what the spy’s did in Joshua’s time. We learn to abide in the church life. This is a journey. This is our Christian life! This is the highest Christian experience! We must be like those who gave a good report to encourage each one to enter in. He is a rich God. We can experience Him with other travelers in the church life. It is a spiritual journey that we take together by FAITH. But First we must start see how important fellowship is with God and the brothers and sisters. I’m beginning to see a little of what abiding means. This hymn shows us all the rich experiences we have when we abide. Lord make this my experience! I have seen something. Now make it real to me!

This hymn is full of rich truths about maintaining the abiding life, of fellowship with Jesus, and what riches the believer knows in this life and the one to come. Meditate on each stanza carefully, for they are your life, the abundant life Christ came to impart by His own life in us.

Another familiar hymn that speaks of the Lord's abiding presence is "Constantly Abiding." I've known this hymn since I was born again in 1955 and it's always a cheerful blessing to my heart.
There's a peace in my heart that the world
never gave,
A peace it can not take away;
Tho' the trials of life may surround like
a cloud,
I've a peace that has come there to stay!
Chorus:
Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine;
Consantly abiding, rapture divine;
He never leaves me lonely,
Whispers O so kind: "I will never leave
thee,"
Jesus is mine.
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!
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!
God bless you all with His presence and His name, Jehovah Shammah, which means the Lord is there." (Ezekiel 48:35)

Excellent hymn - Christ as the thick, rich dairy-fresh cream; a going on from H437 and comparable to H564.
