96. Hidden

1 Hid with Christ, in God the Father,
Seeking joys that are above,
Feeding on the hidden manna,
Satisfied and lost in love.

Refrain:
Underneath His shadow hiding,
Where the soul can know no harm;
In the secret place abiding,
Sheltered by His mighty arm.

2 Not a care, for Jesus careth,
Weary trusting one for thee;
When his darts the tempter hurleth,
To thy refuge quickly flee. [Refrain]

3 Ev’ry dart that would destroy me,
Only strikes my hiding tower;
And I rest, unharmed within Him,
Hidden from the tempter’s power. [Refrain]

4 O the bliss of sweetly resting
On the arms of Jesus’ love!
Where all care and disappointment
Ne’er thy trusting heart can move. [Refrain]

5 Hearing now the softest whispers
Of my precious Lord and King;
In the secret of His presence,
‘Neath the shadow of His wing. [Refrain]
