200. In Heavenly Love Abiding

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 over me,
Where darkest clouds have been.
My hope I cannot measure;
My path to life is free,
My Savior has my treasure,
And he will walk with me.
