HE WILL HIDE ME
By Fanny Crosby, 1899
Tune: Ira Sankey
1 In the secret of His presence He will hide me,
From the burden of a weary world of care;
Overshadowed by His mercy, calmly resting,
My Redeemer will protect me there.
Refrain:
He will hide me, safely hide me,
Where no sorrow nor temptation can betide me;
He will hide me, safely hide me;
In the secret of His presence He will hide me.
2 In the secret of His presence He will hide me,
And the brightness of His glory He will show:
While He covers me with light as with a garment,
O the rapture that my heart will know! [Refrain]
3 In the secret of His presence He will hide me,
In the secret of His blessed, boundless love;
There communing and abiding with my Saviour,
What a foretaste of the joys above. [Refrain]
