Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #141 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) Lyrics: 1 Thou art my hiding-place, O Lord!
In Thee I put my trust,
Encouraged by Thy holy word--
A feeble child of dust.
2 I have no argument beside,
I urge no other plea;
And 'tis enough my Saviour died,
My Saviour died for me!
3 When storms of fierce temptation beat,
And furious foes assail,
My refuge is the mercy-seat,
My hope within the veil.
4 And when Thine awful voice commands
This body to decay,
And life, in its last lingering sands,
Is ebbing fast away,--
5 Then, though it be in accents weak,
My voice shall call on Thee,
And ask for strength in death to speak,
"My Saviour died for me." Topics: Atonement; Christ Redeemer of mankind; Christ Hiding Place; Christ a Hiding Place; Redeemer; Redemption Languages: English
