He abides

There is an old fashioned word that found its way from the KJV to Christian literature and hymns.  The word is Abides.  The author Andrew Murray wrote about 50 books about developing a relationship with Christ. The language in John 15:4-10 (KJV, ESV, NASB) has Jesus talking about "abiding".  The modern translations (CSB, NIV) use the term "remain". It's the same idea.  In 1922 Herbert Buffum (what a name!) Wrote some fantastic lyrics about Jesus "abiding". He titled it simply "He abides". A fun fact, the melody is very catchy.  Here is Eddie Nelf singing it with some of his friends.  

1. I’m rejoicing night and day
   As I walk the narrow 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.
   • Refrain:
     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.
2. Once my heart was full of sin,
   Once I had no peace within,
   Till I 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.
3. He is with me everywhere,
   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.
4. There’s no thirsting for the things
   Of the world—they’ve taken wings;
   Long ago I gave them up, and instantly
   All my night was turned to day,
   All my burdens rolled away;
   Now the Comforter abides with me.

He Abides!  Praise God!
