The Cyber Hymnal ‎#5661

5661. Precious Hiding Place

1. I was straying when Christ found me
In the night so dark and cold;
Tenderly His arm went round me,
And He bore me to His fold.

Refrain
Precious hiding place,
Precious hiding place,
In the shelter of His love;
Not a doubt or fear,
Since my Lord is near,
And I’m sheltered in His love.

2. With His nail-scarred hand He bro’t me
To the shelter of His love;
Of His grace and will He taught me,
And of heav’nly rest above. [Refrain]

3. Tho’ the night be dark around me,
I am safe, for He is near;
Never shall my foes confound me,
While the Savior’s voice I hear. [Refrain]
