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.
He will hide . . . me, . safety 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, Oh the rapture that my heart will know !
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 !
