In the Secret of His Presence
In the secret of His presence
How my soul delights to hide!
Oh, how precious are the lessons
That I learn at Jesus’ side!
In the secret of His presence
How my soul delights to hide!
Oh, how precious are the lessons
That 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,
Neither trials lay me low;
For when Satan comes to tempt me,
To the secret place I go,
I tell Him all my doubts, my griefs, my fears –
Oh how patiently He listens and my drooping soul He cheers.
Oh how patiently He listens and my drooping soul He cheers.
Do you think He ne’re reproves me? What a false friend He would be
If He never told me of the sins which He doth see.
If He never told me of the sins which He doth see.
Would you like to know the sweetness of the secret of the Lord?
Come and rest beneath His shadow-this shall then be your reward!
And when’er you leave the presence of that happy meeting place
You will surely bear the image of the Master in your face!
Come and rest beneath His shadow-this shall then be your reward!
And when’er you leave the presence of that happy meeting place
You will surely bear the image of the Master in your face!
