Oh, that I knew the secret place

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 223 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Communion with Christ, and love to him Lyrics: 1 Oh, that I knew the secret place, Where I might find my God? I'd spread my wants before his face, And pour my woes abroad. 2 I'd tell him how my sins arise, What sorrows I sustain; How grace decays, and comfort dies, And leaves my heart in pain. 3 He knows what arguments I'd take To wrestle with my God: I'd plead for his own mercy's sake, And for my Saviour's blood. 4 My God will pity my complaints, And heal my broken bones; He takes the meaning of his saints, The language of their groans. 5 Arise, my soul, from deep distress, And banish every fear; He calls thee to his throne of grace, To spread thy sorrows there. Scripture: Job 23:3

Seal thou my breast, and let me wear That pledge of love for ever there. 3. How blest are they who still abide, Close shelter'd in thy bleeding side! Who life and strength from thence derive, And by thee move, and in thee live. 4 What are our works but sin and death, Till thou thy quick'ning Spirit breathe? Thou giv’st the power thy grace to move, O wondrous grace! O boundless love! 5 How can it be, thou heavenly King, That thou shouldst us to glory bring; Make slaves the partners of thy throne, Deck'd with a never-fading crown? 6 Ah! Lord, enlarge our scanty thought, To know the wonders thou hast wrought; Unloose our stamm'ring tongues to tell Thy love immense, unsearchable!

O that souls ev'rywhere, seeing Thy scars, might confess Thee! May Thy dear voice Move them to come and rejoice, And as Thy friends ever bless Thee. Used With Tune: LAUDATE DOMINUM

Thou art my shield, my hiding-place, My hope is in thy word. 6 Thou hast inclin'd this heart of mine Thy statutes to fulfil; And thus till mortal life shall end Would I perform thy will.
