The Welcome Voice ‎#8

8. Let Me Hide

1. In the secret of thy presence let me hide,
Let me hide from my guilt away,
From the darkness and the tempting snares of sin,
Let me hide in thy presence, I pray.

Chorus:
Let me hide, let me hide
From the world and all the evils that betide;
Let me hide, let me hide,
In the secret of thy presence let me hide.

2. In the secret of thy presence let me hide,
There to wash in the cleansing blood;
It is there that richer streams of mercy flow;
Let me hide in thy presence, O Lord.
Chorus

3. In the secret of thy presence let me hide,
Let me there find a safe retreat;
While I struggle with the ills and cares of life,
Let me hide in thy presence so sweet.
Chorus
