The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship ‎#76

76. Hide Thou Me

1 In Thy cleft, O Rock of Ages,
Hide Thou me;
When the fitful tempest rages,
Hide Thou me;
When no mortal arm can sever
From my heart Thy love forever,
Hide me, O Thou Rock of Ages, safe in Thee.

2 From the snare of sinful pleasure,
Hide Thou me;
Thou my soul’s eternal treasure,
Hide Thou me;
When the world its pow'r is wielding,
And my heart is almost yielding,
Hide me, O Thou Rock of Ages, safe in Thee.

3 In the lonely night of sorrow,
Hide Thou me;
Till in glory dawns the morrow,
Hide Thou me;
In the sight of Jordan's billow,
Let Thy bosom be my pillow,
Hide me, O Thou Rock of Ages, safe in Thee.
