In The Secret Of His Presence

Author: Ellen Lakshmi Goreh Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 In the secret of His presence, How my soul delights to hide. O how precious are the lessons Which I learn at Jesus’ side. Earthly cares can never vex me, Neither trials lay me low; For when Satan comes to tempt me, To the secret place I go. 2 When my soul is faint and thirsty, ’Neath the shadow of His wing There is cool and pleasant shelter And a fresh and crystal spring; And my Savior rests beside me As we hold communion sweet: If I tried, I could not utter What He says when thus we meet. 3 Only this I know: I tell Him All my doubts, my griefs, my fears; O how patiently He listens And my drooping soul He cheers: Do you think He ne’er reproves me? What a false friend He would be, If He never, never told me Of the sins which He must see. 4 Would you like to know the sweetness Of the secret of the Lord? Go and hide beneath His shadow: This shall then be your reward; And whene’er you leave the silence Of that happy meeting place, You must mind and bear the image Of the Master in your face. Used With Tune: FABEN

For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand, Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand. 3 "When through fiery trials thy path way shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; For flames shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine, Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 4 "E'en down to old age all My people shall prove My sovereign,eternal, unchangeable love; And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne, Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. 5 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not--I cannot desert to His foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake I'll never--no, never--no, never forsake, I'll never--no, never--no, never forsake!"

O glorious shame! O hallowed agony! 4 O vale of tears, no longer sad, Wherein the Lord did dwell! O holy robe of flesh that clad Our own Emmanuel! 5 Our very frailty brings us near Unto the Lord of heaven; To every grief, to every tear, Such glory strange is given.
