Psalm 27:5. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
The assurance of God’s sheltering place allows us to weather the storms of life with hope.
This was what allowed David to face Goliath.
This was the confidence that kept Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego alive in the furnace.
He Hideth My Soul
______________________.
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, — A wonderful Savior to me. — He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, — Where rivers of pleasure I see.
CHORUS:
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, — That shadows a dry, thirsty land; — He hideth my life in the depths of His love, — And covers me there with His hand, — And covers me there with His hand.
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,— He taketh my burden away. — He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved; — He giveth me strength as my day.
With numberless blessings each moment He crowns — And filled with His fullness divine, — I sing in my rapture, “Oh, glory to God! — For such a Redeemer as mine!”
When clothed with His brightness transported I rise — To meet Him in clouds of the sky, — His perfect salvation, His wonderful love, — I’ll shout with the millions on high.
Fanny J. Crosby 1890
