AND SAFE IS SUCH CONFIDING / IRU ABO YI DAJU

.      RECESSIONAL HYMN EMHB 528   

1.         In heavenly love abiding,

            No change my heart shall fear;

And safe is such confiding!

For nothing changes here:

The storm may roar without me,

My heart may low be laid;

But God is round about me,

And can I be dismayed?

 

2.         Wherever He may guide me,

No want shall turn me back;

            My Shepherd is beside me,

            And nothing can I lack:

            His wisdom ever waketh,

            His sight is never dim;

            He knows the way He taketh,

            And I will walk with Him.

 

3.         Green pastures are before me,

            Which yet I have not seen;

            Bright skies will soon be o’er me,

            Where  the  dark  clouds  have been:

            My hope I cannot measure,

            My path to life is free;

            My Saviour has my treasure,

            And He will walk with me.
