In the Secret of His Presence
In the Secret of His Presence
Author: Rev. Henry Burton Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.4 #160 (1894) Lyrics: 1 In the secret of his presence
I am kept from strife of tongues,
His pavilion is around me,
And within are ceaseless songs;
Stormy winds, His word fulfilling,
Beat without but cannot harm,
For the Master’s voice is stilling
Storm and tempest to a calm.
Refrain:
In the secret of his presence,
How my soul delights, delights to hide,
There I long to rest in the arms of love;
There forevermore abide.
2 In the secret of his presence
All the darkness disappears,
For a sun that knows no setting,
Throws a rainbow on my tears.
So the day grows ever brighter,
Broad’ning to the perfect noon;
So the way grows ever brighter,
Heav’n is coming near and soon. [Refrain]
3 In the secret of his presence
Nevermore can foes alarm;
In the shadow of the highest
I can meet them with a song;
For the strong pavilion hides me,
Turns their fiery darts aside,
And I know whate’er betides me,
I shall live because he died. [Refrain]
4 In the secret of his presence
Is a sweet, unbroken rest,
Pleasures, joys, in glorious fullness,
Making earth like Eden blest;
So my peace grows deep and deeper,
Wid’ning as it nears the sea,
For my Savior is my keeper,
Keeping mine and keeping me. [Refrain] Tune Title: [In the secret of his presence]
In the Secret of His Presence
In the secret of His Presence
Author: E. L. Goreh Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.2 #101 (1889) Lyrics: 1 In the secret of His presence
How my soul delights to hide,
Oh, 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.
Refrain:
In the secret of his presence,
When you’ve entered at the door,
Then secure you’ll rest in Jesus,
There is joy forevermore.
2 When my soul is faint and thirsty,
’Neath the shadow of thy 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. [Refrain]
3 Only this, I know I tell him
All my doubts and griefs and fears,
Oh, 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. [Refrain] Tune Title: [In the secret of His presence]

=====================
Burton, Henry, D.D., p. 1555, i., born at Swannington, Leicestershire, in 1840. His parents having emigrated to America, he became a student at Beloit College, and graduated in honours. After labouring as a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church for a time he returned to England, entered the Wesleyan Ministry in 1865, and has since laboured chiefly in Lanca¬shire and London. His published works include Gleanings in the Gospels, Wayside Songs, 1886, St. Luke in the Expositor's Bible, &c. His hymns in common use, in addition to those named on p. 1555, i., include:—
1. Break, day of God, 0 break. [Second Advent.] Written at Blundell Sauds, near Liverpool, on Christmas Eve, 1900, and included in The Methodist Hymn Book, 1904. "The opening stanza was composed on the Railway Bridge where I lingered on my way home" (Author's MS!.).
2. In the secret of His presence. [Peace in Christ.] Written at Acton, London, published in his Wayside Songs, 1886, and included in the Epworth Hymnal, U.S.A.
3. 0 King of Kings, 0 Lord of hosts. [National Hymn.] Dr. Burton's history of this hymn is: "In the late Queen's Jubilee year, 1887, I composed an Ode which was set to music by Sir J. Stainer, and sung at a Jubilee Festival in the Royal Albert Hall, London. As the Ode could not be sung at any other time, Sir J. Stainer requested me to compose a hymn to which the same music should be set [and of a national character]. This led me to write the hymn" Author's MS.). It is No. 975 in The Methodist Hymn Book, 1904.
4. Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on. [Kind Deeds.] "This is based on a little incident in the life of my brother-in-law, the Rev. Mark Guy Pearse. When a boy returning home from a Moravian school in Holland, the steward of the boat on which he sailed from Bristol to Hayle showed him marked attention and kindness, because Mr. Pearse's father, years before, had proved a great friend to his mother. And so he was simply 'passing on' the kindness." (Author's MS.). The hymn was written at Acton on April 8, 1885, and first printed in The Christian Advocate, N.Y., 1886, and again in Wayside Songs, 1886, p. 81. The first stanza has been adopted as a motto by the "International Sunshine Society," of New York.
