Safely Hide Me

by John Henry Kurzenknabe

Precious love that gives me proof,
Whatever may betide me.
Jesus gave His life to save,
And He will safely hide me.

Precious hope that bears me up,
Though all the world deride me!
I have heard the pard'ning word,
And He will safely hide me.

Precious trust that cheers me most
When sin and Satan chide me!
I shall know the way to go,
And He will safely hide me.

Precious peace in my distress,
When death's form stands beside me!
From the strand he'll reach His hand
To shield and safely hide me.

Chorus

Safely hide me, safely hid me,
When the storms and billows rage;
He will guide me, safely guide me,
Through his earthly pilgrimage.
