He Will Hide Me

Mary E. Servoss (1881) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 17:8-9

Verse 1

When the storms of life are raging, Tempests wild on sea and land, I will seek a place of refuge In the shadow of God’s hand.

Chorus

He will hide me, He will hide me, Where no harm can e’er betide me; He will hide me, safely hide me, In the shadow of His hand.

Verse 2

Though He may send some affliction, ’Twill but make me long for home; For in love and not in anger, All His chastenings will come.

Chorus

He will hide me, He will hide me, Where no harm can e’er betide me; He will hide me, safely hide me, In the shadow of His hand.

Verse 3

Enemies may strive to injure, Satan all his arts employ; He will turn what seems to harm me Into everlasting joy.

Chorus

He will hide me, He will hide me, Where no harm can e’er betide me; He will hide me, safely hide me, In the shadow of His hand.

Verse 4

So while here the cross I’m bearing, Meeting storms and billows wild, Jesus for my soul is caring, Naught can harm His Father’s child.

Chorus

He will hide me, He will hide me, Where no harm can e’er betide me; He will hide me, safely hide me, In the shadow of His hand.
