Hide Thou me;
When the fitful tempest rages,
Hide Thou me;
Where 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 power 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.
Amen. Scripture: Exodus 33:22 Used With Tune: HIDE THOU ME
In Thy Cleft, O Rock of Ages (Hide Thou Me)
