Abide in Thee! in that deep love of Thine (Hymn 563)

Verse 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. Verse 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. Verse 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. Verse 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.
