Text Based On Psalms Chapter 91
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most
High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
To The Secret Place I Go
In the secret of His presence how my soul delights to hide!
Oh, how precious are the lessons which learned at my Savior's side!
Earthly cares can never vex me, neither trials lay me low;
For when Satan comes to tempt me, to the secret place I go,
To the secret place I go.
When my soul is faint and thirsty, 'neath the shadow of His wing
There is cool and pleasant shelter, and a fresh and crystal spring;
And my Savior rests beside me, as we hold communion sweet:
If I tried, I could not utter what He says when thus we meet,
What He says when thus we meet.
Only this I know: I tell Him all my doubts, my griefs and fears;
Oh, how patiently He listens and my drooping soul He cheers:
Do you think He ne'er reproves me? What a false Friend He would be,
If He never, never told me of the sins which He does see,
Of the sins which He does see.
Would you like to know the sweetness of the secret of the Lord?
Go and hide beneath His shadow: this shall then be thy reward;
And whene'er you leave the silence of that happy meeting place,
Ye must mind and bear the image of the Master in thy face,
Of the Master in thy face.
