Text:	Secure Hiding Place
Author:	James Relly

1 O Christ! O love divine!
How wonderful art thou!
What heav'nly beauties in thee shine!
What mercies from thee flow!

2 Lo! thou art all we need,
To make us truly blest;
Thy worshippers are all agreed,
Thou art the sinner's rest.

3 When blows the stormy wind,
The rage of man or hell,
A hiding place in thee we find,
Shelter'd in peace we dwell.

4 When Satan, sin, and law,
Do fiercely all unite,
Most fearfully on us to draw
A dark, tempestuous night.

5 When thunders roar aloud
Thro' the distermper'd sky;
Like lightnings from the sulph'rous cloud,
When dreadful curses fly:

6 Despairing, guilty fears,
In fiery tempests roll,
And when the second death appears
To fright the trembling soul:

7 By faith in thee made bold,
We smile when tempests fall;
Thou art the man promis'd of old,
To cover us from all.
