Tempests wild on sea and land,
I will seek a place of refuge
In the shadow of God’s hand.
Refrain:
He will hide me, He will hide me,
Where no harm can e’er betide me;
He will hide me, safely hide me,
In the shadow of His hand.
2 Though He may send some affliction,
’Twill but make me long for home;
For in love and not in anger,
All His chastenings will come. [Refrain]
3 Enemies may strive to injure,
Satan all his arts employ;
He will turn what seems to harm me
Into everlasting joy. [Refrain]
4 So while here the cross I’m bearing,
Meeting storms and billows wild,
Jesus for my soul is caring,
Naught can harm His Father’s child. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [When the storms of life are raging] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/He_Will_Hide_Me); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (485)
