Father with Thee in secret I would be

Father with Thee in secret I would be

Just to allow Thy Son to pray through me;

Waiting in love to hear Thy blest reply

Thy heart revealed to me in Christ thereby.

Father with Thee in secret I would meet

E’er to delight in

fellowship so sweet;

In Thy blest Son

abundant life’s supplied

My empty

broken heart is satisfied.

Father with Thee in secret I would meet

Closed to the world with all its dark deceit

Only the fragrance of Thy lovely Son

Passing between us

He our rest becomes.

Father with Thee in secret I’d remain

Letting Thy light my thoughts and will make plain

Thy Son

my only plea

I now embrace

Sheltered in Him from my unholy ways.

Father with Thee in secret I would be

Seeking Thy will’s fulfillment thus to see

Christ as the first in all things big and small;

Heaven and earth Thy glory shown to all.
