1 Keep me as the apple of Thine eye,
Joyful in the glory pardon brings;
Help me, Lord, to trust Thee, though I die,
Hide me in the shadow of Thy wings.
Refrain:
Hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,
Hide me till this stormy life is o’er;
Hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,
Hide me, Savior, hide me evermore.
2 Keep me as the apple of Thine eye,
Unto Thee by faith my spirit clings;
Help me at Thy feet to passive lie,
Hide me in the shadow of Thy wings. [Refrain]
3 Keep me as the apple of Thine eye,
From the awful blight of sinful things;
Firmly on Thy promise I rely,
Hide me in the shadow of Thy wings. [Refrain]
4 Keep me as the apple of Thine eye,
While my faith in full assurance sings;
Victory as upward I shall fly,
Covered with the shadow of Thy wings. [Refrain]
