Hide Thou Me (Tolbert)

Sometimes I feel dis­cour­aged

And think my life in vain;

I’m tempt­ed then to mur­mur

And of my lot com­plain;

But when I think of Je­sus

And all He’s done for me

Then I cry

O Rock of Ag­es

Hide Thou me.

O Rock of Ag­es

hide Thou me

No other re­fuge have I but Thee

When life’s dark vale I wan­der

Far

far from Thee;

Then I cry

O Rock of Ag­es

Hide Thou me.

Sometimes it seems I dare not

Go one step far­ther on

And from my heart all cour­age

Has slipped away and gone;

But

I re­mem­ber Je­sus

And all His love for me

Then I cry

O Rock of Ag­es

Hide Thou me.

O what a friend is Je­sus

Sure an­chor for my soul

So ten­der

true and gra­cious

I’m safe in His con­trol.

My help in time of dan­ger

My strong de­fense is He

O Thou bless­èd Rock of Ag­es

Hide Thou me.
