He Is Keeping My Soul In His Love

Representative Text

1 I am walking and talking with Jesus my King,
And am finding delight in the praises I sing,
For so closely and trustingly daily I cling;
He is keeping my soul in His love.

Refrain:
He is keeping my soul in His love.
And I know I shall meet Him above;
He will care for His own till the shadows are gone,
He is keeping my soul in His love.

2 I am happy with Jesus and care not to stray
After the pleasures of sin, from the heav’nly way;
For He gives to me pleasures and gladness each day,
He is keeping my soul in His love. [Refrain]

3 I have found my Redeemer of all friends the best,
He has pardoned my sin all my life He has blest,
And I know we shall meet in that haven of rest,
He is keeping my soul in His love. [Refrain]
