Author: Amelia M. Starkweather Hymnal: Wondrous Love #124 (1885) First Line: He that dwelleth in the presence Refrain First Line: Hide me in the secret Of thy presence Lyrics: 1 He that dwelleth in the presence
Of the highest shall abide
Where no trouble ever cometh,
Where no evil can betide.
Refrain:
Hide me in the secret
Of thy presence oh, my King,
Where no storms may ever gather,
In the shadow of thy wing.
2 When the clouds of sorrow gather,
And the billow o’er me roll,
Safe within his blest pavilion,
He will hide my weary soul. [Refrain]
3 I will plead the precious promise,
Of his tender loving care,
For the destitute and needy,
And he will regard my prayer. [Refrain]
4 And the angry waves shall slumber,
At the bidding of his will,
He will calm the raging tumult,
With his gentle, “Peace, be still.” [Refrain] Tune Title: [He that dwelleth in the presence]
In the Shadow of Thy Wing
