He Hideth My Soul

A Wonderful Savior is Jesus My Lord,
       a wonderful Saviour to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
       where rivers of pleasure I see.

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.

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,
       and, filled with His fullness divine,
I sing in my rapture, “O glory to God
       for such a Redeemer as Mine?”

When clothed in His brightness tranported I rise
       to meet Him in clouds of the sky
His 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, thristy 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.

– Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915
