In heavenly love abiding
In heavenly love abiding. Anna Laetitia Waring* (1823-1910).
First published in Hymns and Meditations by A.L.W. (1850), with the heading ‘“I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me” — Psalm 23 :4’. The debt to Psalm 23 is particularly clear in stanza 2:
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?
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.
