Let Me Hide in Thee

When Ga­bri­el sends his trum­pet sound

O’er all the earth and sea

And trem­bling sin­ners stand around

Lord

may I hide in Thee.

When light­nings flash and thun­ders roll

And graves are op­en wide

Oh

Lord

re­ceive my wait­ing soul

And in Thee let me hide.

Oh

let me hide in Thee

Oh

let me hide in Thee;

Still keep me near Thy lov­ing side

Oh

let me hide in Thee.

I would not cry for rocks to fall

Nor earth to crum­ble in

To hide my guil­ty self from all

Since Thou canst cov­er sin.

When time and all its scenes are o’er

And God speaks from the sky

And Christ­ians hear His voice and go

O Christ

to Thee I fly.

When God is judg­ing all the world

And from His throne we see

His pre­cious love to us un­furled

Oh

let me hide in Thee.

And when that glo­ri­ous day shall come

Then near Thy bleed­ing side

Give this poor wait­ing soul a home

And let me safe­ly hide.
