153. In the Secret of His Presence

1 In the secret of His presence how my soul delights to hide!
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]
