O to abide in Jesus, O to be His alone; Close to the fount of blessing, Close to my Savior's throne. O for an earnest longing, Into His life to grow; O for a deeper yearning, More of its joy to know. O to abide in Jesus, Never to faint nor fall; Clinging to Him Who loves me, Trusting my all in all. O for a heart to praise Him, O for a tongue to sing Glory to Him Who saves me, Jesus my Lord and King. O to be more like Jesus, Earnest whene'er I pray; Into His perfect likeness Growing from day to day, O for a faith to bear me, Ever with tireless wing, Home where the blest are waiting, Home where the angels sing.
