Representative Text

1 Hide me, O my Saviour, hide me
In Thy holy place;
Resting there beneath Thy glory,
O let me see Thy face.

Refrain:
Hide me, hide me,
O blessed Saviour, hide me;
O Saviour, keep me
Safely, O Lord, with Thee.

2 Hide me, when the storm is raging
O'er life's troubled sea;
Like a dove on ocean's billows,
O let me fly to Thee. [Refrain]

3 Hide me, when my heart is breaking
With its weight of woe;
When in tears I seek the comfort
Thou canst alone bestow. [Refrain]
