He Hideth My Soul

1 A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,  
A wonderful Savior to me;  
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,  
Where rivers of pleasure I see.  

Refrain:  
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock  
That shadows a dry, thirsty land;  
He hideth my life in the depths of His love  
And covers me there with His hand,  
And covers me there with His hand.  

2 A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord–  
He taketh my burden away.  
He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved;  
He giveth me strength as my day. [Refrain]  

3 With numberless blessings each moment He crowns;  
And, filled with His fullness divine,  
I sing in my rapture, "O glory to God  
For such a Redeemer as mine!" [Refrain]  

4 When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise  
To meet Him in clouds of the sky;  
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love  
I'll shout with the millions on high! [Refrain]
