Constantly Abiding
D G
There’s a peace in my heart that the world never gave,
D A7
A peace it cannot take away;
D G
Though the trials of life may surround like a cloud,
D A E7 A
I’ve a peace that has come here to stay!
Chorus
D A
Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine;
A AY D
Constantly abiding, rapture divine;
D G
He never leaves me lonely, whispers, O so kind:
D G A7 D
“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!
Chorus
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!
