Amidst the sorrows of the way

Lord Jesus, teach my soul to pray

Let me taste Thy special grace

And run to Christ, my hiding place



You know the vileness of my heart

So prone to act the rebel's part

And when You veil Your lovely face

How can I find a hiding place



Hiding place, hiding place



Lord, guide my wandering feet

Draw me to Thy mercy seat

I've nought to trust but sovereign grace

Thou only art my hiding place



How unstable is my heart

Sometimes I take the tempter's part

And slight the tokens of Thy grace

And seem to want no hiding place



Hiding place, hiding place



But when Thy spirit shines within

Makes me feel the plague of sin

And how I long to see Thy face

'Tis then I want a hiding place



Lord Jesus, shine and then I can

Feel sweetness in salvation's plan

And as a sinner plead for grace

Christ, the sinner's hiding place

And as a sinner plead for grace

Christ, the sinner's hiding place
