I Am Hiding

Barney Elliott Warren (1900) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 31:20

Verse 1

Safely hiding, should I fear, When the Lord is near? I am hiding, safely hiding When the storm clouds fly, I am hiding in His presence, ’Neath His watchful eye.

Chorus

I am hiding, hiding, I am safely hiding, Hiding till the billows pass me by; I am hiding, hiding, I am safely hiding, Hiding when the tempests sweep the sky.

Verse 2

Safely hiding, I am sure All is now secure, Though the tide should overflow me I am not afraid, I am trusting in His keeping In the cleft He made.

Verse 3

Safely hiding in His grace, What a resting-place! I am in the Rock of Ages— Should my courage fail? There is not a dark foreboding In the fiercest gale.

Chorus

I am hiding, hiding, I am safely hiding, Hiding till the billows pass me by; I am hiding, hiding, I am safely hiding, Hiding when the tempests sweep the sky.

Verse 4

Safely hiding, I am blest While I sweetly rest, Oh, what peace and calm assurance Now abide within! I am happy in endurance Since I’m free from sin.

Chorus

I am hiding, hiding, I am safely hiding, Hiding till the billows pass me by; I am hiding, hiding, I am safely hiding, Hiding when the tempests sweep the sky.
