Let My Life Be Hid in Thee

Let my life be hid in Thee

Life of life and light of light!

Love’s il­lim­it­able sea!

Depth of peace and pow­er the height!

Let my life be hid in Thee

When my foes are ga­ther­ing round;

Covered with Thy pa­no­ply

Safe with­in Thy ho­ly ground.

Let my life be hid in Thee;

From vexa­tion and an­noy;

Calm in Thy tran­quil­ity

All my mourn­ing turned to joy.

Let my life be hid in Thee;

When my strength and health shall fail

Let Thine im­mor­tal­ity

In my dy­ing hour pre­vail.

Let my life be hid in Thee;

In the world

and yet ab­ove;

Hid in Thine eter­ni­ty

In the ocean of Thy love.
