128. The Hiding Place

1 By faith the cleansing blood I see,
That riven side was cleft for me;
From self and sin I’d quickly flee,
Jesus, to hide in Thee.

To hide, to hide,
Jesus to hide in Thee;
To hide, to hide,
Jesus to hide in Thee.

2 Not in myself—alone in Thee,
My joy, my strength, my life shall be;
For Thou art all in all to me
While I am hid in Thee.

While I, while I,
While I am hid in Thee;
While I, while I,
While I am hid in Thee.

3 Dear Saviour, let me there abide,
Close nestling to Thy wounded side,
So peaceful and so satisfied,
While I am hid in Thee.

While I, while I,
While I am hid in Thee;
While I, while I,
While I am hid in Thee.

4 Thus safely sheltered ‘neath Thy wing,
Of Christ, my righteousness, I’ll sing,
And fear no more death’s bitter sting
While I am hid in Thee.

While I, while I,
While I am hid in Thee;
While I, while I,
While I am hid in Thee.

5 And when I stand before the throne,
Saviour, I know, Thy love will own,
The soul for whom Thou didst atone,
The soul that hides in Thee.

The soul that hides,
That soul that hides in Thee,
The soul that hides,
That soul that hides in Thee.
