I love to sit with Je¤sus,
Down in the low¤est room.
His pres¤ence is my sun¤shine,
Dis¤pel¤ling na¤ture’s gloom.
He keeps my vi¤sion clear and strong,
He is my ev¤er¤last¤ing song.

I love to be with Je¤sus,
When I am weaned and still.
My heart and mind is quick¤ened,
To know and do His will,
O¤bey¤ing from a will¤ing heart,
And choose with Him the bet¤ter part.

I love to speak with Je¤sus,
And have my mind re¤newed
A¤lone with Him in se¤cret,
Where noth¤ing can in¤trude.
Re¤ceive His coun¤sel, words of grace,
His right¤eous¤ness and ho¤li¤ness.

I love to learn of Je¤sus,
How I may o¤ver¤come.
Be¤fore Him I am si¤lent,
My lips are mute and dumb.
He speaks, “If ye a¤bide in Me,
Much more than con¤queror you shall be.”
