THE HIDING PLACE

Isaiah 32:2  Psalm 32:7

 

Amidst the sorrows of the way,

Lord Jesus, teach my soul to pray;

And let me taste Thy special grace,

And run to Christ, my Hiding place.

 

Thou know'st the vileness of my heart,

So prone to act the rebel's part;

And when Thou veil'st Thy lovely face,

Where can I find a Hiding place?

 

Lord, guide my silly, wandering feet,

And draw me to Thy mercy seat.

I've nought to trust but sovereign grace;

Thou only art my Hiding-place.

 

O how unstable is my heart!

Sometimes I take the tempter's part,

And slight the tokens of Thy grace,

And seem to want no Hiding-place.

 

But when Thy Spirit shines within,

And makes me feel the plague of sin;

Then how I long to see Thy face!

'Tis then I want a Hiding-place.

 

Lord Jesus, shine, and then I can

Feel sweetness in salvation's plan;

And as a sinner, plead for grace.

Through Christ, the sinner's Hiding-place.
