Following Him I know I'm right, He watches o'er me day and night; Following Him by day and night, He's my friend. 4 Jesus is all the world to me, I want no better friend; I trust Him now, I'll trust Him when Life's fleeting days shall end: Beautiful life with such a friend, Beautiful life that has no end; Eternal life, eternal joy, He's my friend.

I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on, O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

Thou art my hiding place, O Lord

Author: Thomas Raffles Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 111 hymnals Topics: Abiding in Christ Lyrics: 1 Thou art my hiding place, O Lord, In thee I put my trust; Encouraged by thy holy Word, A feeble child of dust: I have no argument beside, I urge no other plea; And 'tis enough my Saviour died, My Saviour died for me. 2 When storms of fierce temptation beat, And furious foes assail, My refuge is the mercy-seat, My hope within the veil. From strife of tongues and bitter words My spirit flies to thee: Joy to my heart the thought affords, My Saviour died for me. 3 'Mid trials heavy to be borne, When mortal strength is vain, A heart with grief and anguish torn, A body racked with pain, Ah! what could give the suff'rer rest, Bid ev'ry murmur flee, But this, the witness in my breast That Jesus died for me? 4 And when thine awful voice commands This body to decay, And life, in its last ling'ring sands, Is ebbing fast away, Then though it be in accents weak, And faint and tremblingly, O give me strength in death to speak, "My Saviour died for me." Amen. Scripture: Psalm 32:7 Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD
