Sandra McCracken - In the Secret of His Presence

In the Secret of His Presence

In the secret of His presence
how my soul delights to hide
Oh, how precious are the lessons
which I learn at Jesus side
Earthly cares can never vex me,
neither trials lay me low;
For when Satan comes to tempt me,
to the secret place I go,
To the secret place I go.

When my soul is faint and thirsty,
neath the shadow of His wing
There is cool and pleasant shelter,
and a fresh and crystal spring;
And my Saviour rests beside me,
as we hold communion sweet:
If I tried, I could not utter what He says when thus we meet,
What He says when thus we meet.

Only this I know: I tell Him all my doubts,
my griefs and fears;
Oh, how patiently He listens!
and my drooping soul He cheers:
Do you think He neer reproves me?
What a false Friend He would be,
If He never, never told me of the sins which He must see,
Of the sins which He must see.

Would you like to know the sweetness
of the secret of the Lord?
Go and hide beneath His shadow:
this shall then be your reward;
And wheneer you leave the silence of
that happy meeting place,
You must mind and bear the image
of the Master in your face,
Of the Master in your face.
