1 Safely hiding, should I fear,
When the Lord is near?
I am hiding, safely hiding
When the storm clouds fly,
I am hiding in His presence,
’Neath His watchful eye.

Refrain:
I am hiding, hiding,
I am safely hiding,
Hiding till the billows pass me by;
I am hiding, hiding,
I am safely hiding,
Hiding when the tempests sweep the sky.

2 Safely hiding, I am sure
All is now secure,
Though the tide should overflow me
I am not afraid,
I am trusting in His keeping
In the cleft He made.

3 Safely hiding in His grace,
What a resting-place!
I am in the Rock of Ages—
Should my courage fail?
There is not a dark foreboding
In the fiercest gale. [Refrain]

4 Safely hiding, I am blest
While I sweetly rest,
Oh, what peace and calm assurance
Now abide within!
I am happy in endurance
Since I’m free from sin. [Refrain]
