1. There’s a secret God has whispered
To His hidden ones alone;
‘Tis a secret, sweeter, stranger,
Than thy heart has tho’t or known.
(Chorus)
There’s a secret, precious secret, (holy, changeless secret,)
God has whispered to my soul, (sweetly whispered to my soul;)
‘Tis that He will never keep me, (keep me, ever keep me,)
While eternal ages roll. (roll, forever roll.)
2. Changeless secret, how it keeps us
Thro’ all changes life can bring;
Joy may cheer, or trial press us,
Still the restful heart can sing.
3. Holy secret, how it cleanses
All the heart from self and sin;
Crowding out the pow’r of evil
By the life of Christ within.
4. Mighty secret, how it brings us
Heav’nly help for hearts forlorn;
Turns our battle-tide to triumph,
Changes midnight into morn.
5. Precious secret, I have found it,
Precious Jesus, Thou art mine;
Prove in me Thy boundless fullness,
Live in me Thy life divine.
