I Will Hide

Verse 1

In the secret of Thy presence I will hide, In Thy secret tabernacle I'll abide, In the shadow of Thy wing I will trust and sweetly sing, With the shield of Thy protection satisfied.

Chorus

I will hide and abide, In the secret of Thy presence I will hide; Keep me, Jesus, keep my heart Let it ne'er from Thee depart, In Thy Spirit keep me sweetly sanctified.

Verse 2

From the malice of the wicked I will hide, From their tongues deceitful slander, from their pride; From the evil that they do, From their worldly pomp and show– In Thy presence I will happily abide.

Verse 3

Till the storm shall cease its raging I will hide, Trust Thee all my needed blessings to provide; Hiding ever, Lord, in Thee, Evil cannot come to me. Hallelujah! in my Saviour I will hide.
