In The Secret Of His Presence
How My Soul Delights To Hide !
Oh, How Precious Are The Lessons Which
I Learn At Jesus’ Side !
Earthly Cares Can Never Vex Me, Neither
Trials Lay Me Low
For When Satan Comes To Tempt Me, To
The Secret Place I Go.

When My Soul Is Faint And Thirsty,
‘Neath The Shadow Of His Wing
There Is Cool And Pleasant Shelter, And
A Fresh And Crystal Spring;
And My Saviour Rests Beside Me, As We
Hold Communion Sweet :
If I Tried, I Could Not Utter What He
Says When Thus We Meet.

Only This I Know I Tell Him All My
Doubts, And Griefs, And Fears;
Oh, How Patiently He Listens 1 And My
Drooping Soul He Cheers :
Do You Think He Ne’er Reproves Me ?
What A False Friend He Would Be,
If He Never, Never Told Me Of The Sins
Which He Must See.

Would You Like To Know The Sweetness
Of The Secret Of The Lord ?
Go And Hide Beneath His Shadow This
Shall Then Be Your Reward
And Whenever You Leave The Silence Of
That Happy Meeting-Place,
You Will Bear The Shining Image Of The
Master In Your Face.
