Hide Not Thy Face

Hide not Thy face from me

O Lord

Dark was the path dark that I have trod;

No light

no sun­shine could I see

When Thou didst hide Thy face from me;

But Thy dear smile makes sweet sun­shine

To fill this wea­ry heart of mine.

Low at Thy cross

on bend­ed knee

I seek a bless­ing

Lord

from Thee;

Lift up my heart in praise and song

And let the song-wave roll along

Till oth­er souls shall catch the strain

And sing aloud the glad re­frain.

O let my life a bless­ing be

A liv­ing light to shine for Thee;

A light of love in dark­ness bring

To sad­dened souls now lost in sin

To point them to the heav’n­ly place

In joy to see Thee face to face.
