Abiding

Since Sunday morning's sermon I've had a hymn on my mind (since Danny was talking about abiding in Christ) and spent ages looking for it in the cyber hymnal et al but it just wasn't there. Well lo and behold, I found it in the good old Redemption Hymnal. Isn't this lovely?

Abiding, oh so wondrous sweet!
I'm resting at the Saviour's feet;
I trust in Him; I'm satisfied,
I'm resting in the Crucified!

Abiding, abiding,
Oh how wondrous sweet!
I'm resting, resting,
At the Saviour's feet...

He speaks, and by His word is given
His peace, a rich foretaste of heaven;
Not as the world, He peace doth give:
'Tis through this hope my soul shall live.

I live but through His grace alone;
By whom the mighty work is done;
Dead to myself, alive to Him,
I count all loss His rest to win.

Now rest, my heart, the work is done,
I'm saved by faith through Christ the Son!
Let every power my soul employ,
To tell the world my peace and joy.

I found your BLOG today while I was trying to find this wonderful hymn. I am doing a posting on my own BLOG about the Dwelling place of God and I needed this hymn on our abiding in Christ.
Like you I found it in Redemption Hymnal but I will confess (it is good for the soul) that I scaned it in from your BLOG.
I already feel much better.

I have been quickly going though your other postings - so sorry to see you Dad died. Great idea for the garden.

You seem a great crowd.
May the LORD bless you.
