THE HIDING PLACE.
Amid this world’s tumultuous noise,
For peace my soul to Jesus flies;
If I’ve an interest in his grace,
I want no other hiding place.
For peace my soul to Jesus flies;
If I’ve an interest in his grace,
I want no other hiding place.
The world with all its charms is vain,
Its wealth and honors I disdain:
All its extensive aims embrace,
Can ne’er afford a hiding place.
Its wealth and honors I disdain:
All its extensive aims embrace,
Can ne’er afford a hiding place.
A guilty, sinful heart is mine,
Jesus, unbounded love is thine!
When I behold thy smiling face,
Tis then I see my hiding place.
Jesus, unbounded love is thine!
When I behold thy smiling face,
Tis then I see my hiding place.
To save, if once my Lord engage,
The world may laugh, and Satan rage:
The powers of hell can ne’er erase
My name from God’s own hiding place.
The world may laugh, and Satan rage:
The powers of hell can ne’er erase
My name from God’s own hiding place.
I’m in a wilderness below,
Lord, guide me all my journey through,
Plainly let me thy footsteps trace,
Which lead to heaven, my hiding place.
Lord, guide me all my journey through,
Plainly let me thy footsteps trace,
Which lead to heaven, my hiding place.
Should dangers thick impede my course,
O let my soul sustain no loss;
Help me to run the Christian race,
And enter safe my hiding place.
O let my soul sustain no loss;
Help me to run the Christian race,
And enter safe my hiding place.
Then with enlarged powers,
I’ll triumph in redeeming love,
Eternal ages will I praise
My Lord for such a hiding place.
I’ll triumph in redeeming love,
Eternal ages will I praise
My Lord for such a hiding place.
