He Hideth My Soul

Words, Fanny J. Crosby, 1890. Tune KIRKPATRICK, William J. Kirkpatrick, 1890.

First Verse:

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.

Chorus:

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.

Second Verse:

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.

Chorus:

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.

Third Verse:

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 is mine!

Fourth Verse:

When clothed in his brightness, transported I rise To meet him in clouds of the sky,

He perfect salvation, his wonderful love I’ll shout with the millions on high.

Chorus:

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.

*Exodus 33:22
