Author: Chas. H. Gabriel Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When my heart is sore oppressed, And I seek in vain for rest Refrain First Line: He will care for me Lyrics: 1. When my heart is sore oppressed,
And I seek in vain for rest,
This my daily prayer shall be,
Draw me nearer, Lord, to Thee.
Refrain
Hide me, Oh, my Savior, hide me,
’Till the storm of life is past;
Safe inside the haven guide me,
Oh, receive my soul at last.
2. In temptation’s trying hour,
When I feel the tempter’s power,
Near me then, O Lord, abide,
Strengthen me, and be my guide. [Refrain]
3. When my day of life is o’er,
And I tremble on the shore
Of the dark and unknown sea,
Then, O Lord, my comfort be. [Refrain] Text Sources: Joyful Praise, by Charles H. Gabriel (Cincinnati, Ohio: Jennings & Graham, 1902), number 158
Hide Me, O My Savior!
