He Hideth My Soul

He Hideth My Soul

Text written by Fanny J. Crosby (1820-1915)

Hymn tune composed by William J. Kirkpatrick (1838-1921)

Exodus 33:22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

V. 1 A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,

A wonderful Savior to me,

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,

Where rivers of pleasure I see.

Isaiah 32:2 Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.

Refrain: He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock

That shadows a dry, thirsty land;

He hideth my life in the depths of His love,

And covers me there with His hand,

And covers me there with His hand.

Deuteronomy 33:25 The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days.

Psalm 16:8 I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

V. 2 A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,

He taketh my burden away,

He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved,

He giveth me strength as my day.

Refrain

Ephesians 3:19 ...and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

V. 3 With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,

And filled with His fullness divine,

I sing in my rapture, Oh, glory to God

For such a Redeemer as mine.

Refrain

1 Thessalonians 4:17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

V. 4 When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise

To meet Him in clouds of the sky,

His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,

I'll shout with the millions on high.

Refrain
