He Hideth My Soul

Fanny Crosby (1890) • English

Primary Scripture: Exodus 33:21-22

Verse 1

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, A wonderful Savior to me; He's hiding my soul in the cleft of the rock, Where rivers of pleasure I see.

Chorus

He's hiding my soul in the cleft of the rock That shadows a dry, thirsty land; He's hiding my life in the depths of his love And cov'ring me there with his hand, And cov'ring me there with his hand.

Verse 2

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord; He carries my burdens away, He's holding me up, and I shall not be moved; He's giving me strength day by day.

Chorus

He's hiding my soul in the cleft of the rock That shadows a dry, thirsty land; He's hiding my life in the depths of his love And cov'ring me there with his hand, And cov'ring me there with his hand.

Verse 3

With numberless blessings each moment he crowns And fills with his fullness divine; I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God For such a Redeemer is mine.

Chorus

He's hiding my soul in the cleft of the rock That shadows a dry, thirsty land; He's hiding my life in the depths of his love And cov'ring me there with his hand, And cov'ring me there with his hand.

Verse 4

When clothed in his brightness, transported I rise To meet him in clouds of the sky, His perfect salvation, his wonderful love, I'll shout with the millions on high.

Chorus

He's hiding my soul in the cleft of the rock That shadows a dry, thirsty land; He's hiding my life in the depths of his love And cov'ring me there with his hand, And cov'ring me there with his hand.
