How precious are the lessons which I learn at Jesus side! Earthly cares can never vex me, neither trials lay me low, For when Satan comes to tempt me, to the secret place I go. Chorus: In the secret of His presence how my soul delight to hide! Oh, how precious are the lessons which I learn at Jesus’ side! Earthly cares can never vex me, neither trials lay me low, For when Satan comes to tempt me, to the secret place I go. 2 When my soul is faint and thirsty, ‘neath the shadow of His wing, There’s cool and pleasant shelter and a fresh and crystal spring; And my Saviour rests beside me as we hold communion sweet; If I tried I could not utter what He says when thus we meet. [Chorus] 3 Would you like to know the sweetness of the secret of the Lord? Go hide beneath His shadow, this shall then be your reward; And when e’er you leave the silence of that happy meeting-place, You must mind and bear the image of the Master in your face. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [In the secret of His presence how my soul delights to hide]
