|
Amidst the sorrows of the way |
|
Lord Jesus, teach my soul to pray |
|
Let me taste Thy special grace |
|
And run to Christ, my hiding place |
|
You know the vileness of my heart |
|
So prone to act the rebel's part |
|
And when You veil Your lovely face |
|
How can I find a hiding place |
|
Hiding place, hiding place |
|
Lord, guide my wandering feet |
|
Draw me to Thy mercy seat |
|
I've nought to trust but sovereign grace |
|
Thou only art my hiding place |
|
How unstable is my heart |
|
Sometimes I take the tempter's part |
|
And slight the tokens of Thy grace |
|
And seem to want no hiding place |
|
Hiding place, hiding place |
|
But when Thy spirit shines within |
|
Makes me feel the plague of sin |
|
And how I long to see Thy face |
|
'Tis then I want a hiding place |
|
Lord Jesus, shine and then I can |
|
Feel sweetness in salvation's plan |
|
And as a sinner plead for grace |
|
Christ, the sinner's hiding place |
|
And as a sinner plead for grace |
|
Christ, the sinner's hiding place |
