Hiding in Thee

By William O. Cushing
For Thou has been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. – Psalm 61:3

O safe to the Rock that is higher than I
My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly; so sinful so
weary – Thine, Thine would I be: Thou blest “Rock of Ages,”
I’m hiding in Thee. Hiding in Thee, hiding in Thee,
Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee.

In the calm of the noon tide, in sorrow’s lone hour,
In times when temptation casts o’er me its power, in the tempests of
life, on its wide heaving sea, Thou blest “Rock of Ages,”
I’m hiding in Thee. Hiding in Thee, hiding in Thee,
Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee.

How often in conflict, when pressed by the foe,
I have fled to my Refuge and breathed out my woe; how often, when
trials like sea billows roll, have I hidden in Thee,
O Thou Rock of my soul. Hiding in Thee, hiding in Thee,
Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee.
