1. I’ve found a blessed hiding-place,
A happy refuge know,
When dark and heavy clouds replace
The morning’s golden glow.
Chorus:
In the blessed, blessed hiding place,
My soul for gladness sings;
I’m cover’d by my Savior’s love,
Beneath his shelt’ring wings.
2. As little birds within the nest
Are gathered safe and warm,
So close against my Savior’s breast,
I’m hiding from the storm.
3. More tender than a mother’s love,
The love that shields me here;
His eye still keeping watch above,
His voice dispelling fear.
4. Not for a moment would I leave
This blessed hiding-place;
Thy promise, Savior, I believe,
O keep me, by the grace.
