Hymn 217: I’M rejoicing night and day,

Verse 1

I’M rejoicing night and day,

As I walk the pilgrim way,

For the hand of God in all my life I see,

And the reason of my bliss,

Yes, the secret all is this:

That the comforter abides with me.

He abides… He abides,…

Hallelujah, He abides with me!

I’m rejoicing night and day,

As I walk the narrow way,

For the Comforter abides with me

Verse 2

Once my heart was full of sin,

Once I had no peace within,

Till I had heard how Jesus died upon

the tree;

Then I fell down at His feet

And there came a peace so sweet,

Now the Comforter abides with me.

Verse 3

He is with me ev’rywhere,

And He Knows my every care,

I’m as happy as a bird and just as [free.

For the Spirit has control,

Jesus satisfies my soul,

Since the Comforter abides with me.

Verse 4

There’s no thirsting for the things 

Of the world-they’ve takenwings;

Long ago I have them up, and instantly 

All my night was turned to day,

All my burdens rolled away,

Now the comforter abides with me.
