1  I have learned the wondrous secret

       Of abiding in the Lord;

    I have tasted life's pure fountain,

       I am drinking of His word;

    I have found the strength and sweetness

       Of abiding 'neath the blood;

    I have lost myself in Jesus,

       I am sinking into God.

 2  I am crucified with Jesus,

       And He lives and dwells with me;

    I have ceased from all my struggling,

       'Tis no longer I, but He.

    All my will is yielding to Him,

       And His Spirit reigns within;

    And His precious blood each moment

       Keeps me cleansed and free from sin.

 3  All my sicknesses I bring Him,

       And He bears them all away;

    All my fears and griefs I tell Him,

       All my cares from day to day,

    All my strength I draw from Jesus,

       By His breath I live and move;

    E'en His very mind He gives me,

       And His faith, and life, and love.

 4  For my words I take His wisdom,

       For my works His Spirit's power;

    For my ways His ceaseless presence

       Guards and guides me every hour.

    Of my heart, He is the portion,

       Of my joy the boundless spring;

    Savior, Sanctifier, Healer,

       Glorious Lord, and coming King.
